<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Louis van Gaal's men fought hard but failed to win their fourth game in five in all competitions as Guus Hiddink's side recovered to maintain his unbeaten run as boss at Stamford Bridge.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
The Red Devils thought Jesse Lingard had become their hero when he snatched his chance to grab the headlines with a second-half goal but it finished all square. </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea edged the first half but it was the visitors who tested the waters first.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Anthony Martial went close for United when he had a shot expertly tipped round the post by Thibaut Courtois.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea begin to take control after half an hour of cagey football in west London. </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Diego Costa was fed in by Oscar but the through ball wasn’t matched with a finish as he pulled his shot across David De Gea and wide of the far post.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Azpilicueta then knocked the ball off to Oscar who swivelled but blasted over from a tight angle.<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Willian was a bright light going forward creating chances, tearing young Cameron Borthwick-Jackson up too. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">On stroke of half-time, Willian cut the ball back to John Terry who swung an effort towards goal but Daley Blind deflected it wide for a corner. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">There were strong appeals for a penalty but referee Michael Oliver turned them down despite the fact Blind blocked it with an arm.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
Louis van Gaal’s side then came out with some real impetus after the break as Wayne Rooney and Martial went close in quick succession. </div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Eden Hazard was called on to regain some momentum but the whole match was brought to a standing halt when Kurt Zouma suffered a serious looking injury.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">The Frenchman jumped high for a clearance but landed awkwardly as his knee bent on landing, leading to a lengthy stoppage.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">To add insult to injury for Chelsea, United took the lead shortly after as Jesse lingered opened the scoring on 61 minutes. </span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Rooney started to move by laying the ball into the attacker’s path as Lingered spun and blasted the ball into the top corner.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">The Blues bombed forward and Cesc Fabregas was denied with 20 minutes to go as De Gea came to United’s rescue again with a sharp stop to palm over.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Diego Costa then came to the rescue as his first attempt was blocked in injury time by Borthwick-Jackson but he was first to the rebound to finally beat De Gea.</span></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">United stay fifth while Chelsea remained 13th in the table.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Southampton" target="_blank">Southampton</a> midfielder is reportedly Arsenal's top January target after losing a number of midfielders to injury.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gunners have lost Francis Coquelin, Mikel Arteta and Santi Cazorla and still have worries about Jack Wilshere's fitness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Wanyama, a strong defensive player, could slot into his team to protect the back four.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I rate the player, but we are not on the case," Wenger said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We will see what is there. We have a whole December to go first."</div>

Asked if he would be heading back to Manchester at the end of the season, Januzaj said: “I don’t know.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
An own goal from Ivan Marcano and Willian's second half strike put the Blues in position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They only needed a draw but, with Porto needing to win, it looked like a nervy night beforehand.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former Atletico Madrid striker has been in poor form for Chelsea this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He's scored three Premier League goals this term and has come in for criticism for his robust performances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Spain international Costa, who was an Atletico player for eight years, said: "You never know — look how well Filipe Luis is doing now. </div>

<strong>Alexandre Pato</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alexandre Pato was <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/spotted-liverpool-and-man-utd-target-at.html" target="_blank">spotted at Stamford Bridge</a> last night fuelling rumours of a move to Chelsea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former AC Milan striker is set to leave Brazil for Europe in January and has been offered around to a host of Premier League clubs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Express Sport understands that Chelsea are not currently looking at Pato, but it seems like he's looking at them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Costa has scored just two Premier League goals in 10 games so far this season, and once in the Champions League.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He scored nine goals in his first seven Premier League games after signing from Atletico Madrid last season in a £32million deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And hit 20 goals for Chelsea in all competitions last season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this season has seen him embroiled in more battles off the ball and each week seems to bring a new controversy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Chelsea's last fixture he told Ryan Shawcross he smelled and was involved in a scuffle with a steward who reported him to the authorities.</div>

<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Diego%20Costa" target="_blank">Costa</a> lashed out at the Frenchman before managing to get Gabriel sent off during <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Chelsea" target="_blank">Chelsea</a>'s 2-0 win over <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Arsenal" target="_blank">Arsenal</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Spain striker was retrospectively banned by the FA, but Koscielny was congratulated for keeping his cool - by his mates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On international duty Koscielny reveals his friends sent him text messages admitting they'd have gone crazy with Costa's antics and would have reacted aggressively.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“At the time, when he gives me a slap on the face, I don’t pay attention,” Koscielny said. “We’re in a defensive situation and I continue to play. After he pushes me, I fall and get up because I’m not the type of player who drops down like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sure, I could have had a reaction, but I managed to keep my nerves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He wants to blow a defender’s fuse but you have to stay calm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I received a lot of messages telling me: ‘Well done, because I, I would have hit him.’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You know, it’s five years that I’ve been at Arsenal, I have over two hundred matches with my team, some very important, I played a World Cup, the Euros. All this experience helps my serenity and allows me to not be overwhelmed by the emotions of an encounter.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Koscieleny is in the France squad ahead of their visit to England on Tuesday.</div>
