United snatched second place on Saturday with a 2-0 victory of a Jose Mourinho-less Chelsea. Sir Alex avenged his former rival by tactically crushing his replacement, Avram Grant. John Obi Mikel was sent off midway through the first half due to a late tackle on Evra. In first half stoppage time, Carlos Tevez opened his Manchester United scoring career with a lovely diving header.
Grant went into his first team talk a man and a goal down. He changed tactics and swamped the midfield in an attempt to keep the United attackers at bay. This failed when Ben Haim caught Louis Saha from behind in the penalty area at the end of the second half. The French striker slammed the resulting penalty home for his second goal in three appearances.
