Chelsea draw at Man United Monday, November 27, 2006
The much-awaited showdown between league leaders Manchester United and reigning champions Chelsea finished with honours even after a breathless 1-1 Old Trafford draw on Sunday.
Louis Saha, who missed a late penalty in Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Celtic, steered United into a deserved lead after 29 minutes after an astute through-ball from Wayne Rooney.
Chelsea were much improved after the break and levelled when Ricardo Carvalho headed in a Frank Lampard corner in the 69th.
Both sides pressed for the winner but eventually had to settle for a point each to leave United top of the standings on 35 points, three ahead of Chelsea.
