(Pen. 4 - 1)

United took 10th minute lead against the Blues as Luis Nani received the ball in an inside-left position, shifted the ball onto his right, and fired a low shot into Cech’s far post. The Blues equalised in the 52nd minute when Ben Foster could only palm a cross into Riccardo Carvalho’s direction and the centre-half converted from 6-yards. The comeback was complete in controversial circumstances in the 71st minute, Ballack body-checked Evra near the Pensioners box and from the resulting clearance Drogba set up Frank Lampard to blast a shot past a weak-wristed Foster. In injury time United equalised with their own controversial goal, Giggs played an offside Wayne Rooney through on goal and the number ten stroked the ball into the far corner. Giggs and Evra (terrible effort) missed in the shootout, while Chelsea scored four from four.

Van Der Sar sidelined for eight weeks

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is expected to be sidelined for two months after undergoing surgery on a broken finger and bone in his left hand.

The 38-year-old Dutchman was hurt saving a penalty from Danijel Pranjic in the Red Devils' 7-6 shoot-out defeat to Bayern Munich in the pre-season Audi Cup in Germany last week.

Van der Sar is not expected to be back in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans until late September, meaning Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak will bid to start Sunday's Community Shield game with Chelsea and the Premier League opener against Birmingham on 16 August.

Foster is likely to be given the nod after being hailed as the best English goalkeeper in the Premier League by his manager. As yet the 26-year-old has made limited appearances at Old Trafford due to injuries and Van der Sar's form.

Foster, who was sent on loan at Watford from 2005 to 2007, has played only 10 times for Manchester United, but signed a new four-year contract this summer.

United play Valencia at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening and Ferguson will use the match to asses which keeper will become first choice.
