Chelsea FC manager, Jose Mourinho,
has recorded a remarkable win after his initial worries of inconsistent
performances this season.
Diego Costa got a brace for the Stamford Bridge giants to move them out of the relegation zone.
In other match, Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney scored his 187th goal in the English Premier League, to tie Andy Cole as the second all time highest goalscorer, behind Alan Shearer.
This feat was achieved when he scored the third and final goal against his boyhood club, Everton.
Scnheiderlin and Herrera were responsible for the other goals as Van Gaal’s men bounced back from the defeat at Arsenal two weeks ago.
This was how Naij.com Sports covered the matches.
