Chelsea dominates Man U in shootout

Salomon Kalou scored the winning penalty yesterday as Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-1 in a shootout to clinch the Community Shield in Carlo Ancelotti's first competitive match in charge.
The traditional curtain raiser to the English season at Wembley is rarely a spectacle, but on this occasion was hotly contested with a heated conclusion.

With the match level at 1-1 in the 71st minute, United's Patrice Evra was lying on the ground after being fouled by Michael Ballack when Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard made it 2-1.
The goal sparked a furious reaction from United players, who felt the game should have been stopped.

"With a replay you can see Ballack has elbowed the boy, and if the referee had seen it properly, it is a red card," United manager Alex Ferguson said. "The referee is in line with it, and should have at least stopped the game."
The Premier League champions, however, equalized in stoppage time when Wayne Rooney broke free.

But it was FA Cup winner Chelsea who dominated the shootout.
"This is sweet," Lampard said. "It feels nice to make a winning start to the season."Salomon Kalou scored the winning penalty yesterday as Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-1 in a shootout to clinch the Community Shield in Carlo Ancelotti's first competitive match in charge.
