  Chelsea's two-goal hero and Man of the Match Michael Ballack was in a buoyant mood after his side's 2-1 victory against Manchester United.

  The German international spoke to Sky Sports 1 after the game, and dedicated the win to team-mate Frank Lampard's late mother Pat. The England star missed today's game as he is grieving, and Ballack had great sympathy for his fellow midfielder.
  
  "The victory is for Frank [Lampard] and his family, we don't forget," said a solemn Ballack. "It's a difficult time for everybody - especially for his family - it's for him today.
  
  "Our sympathy is with him and the family."
  
  Regarding the on-field fracas with Drogba, Ballack was light-hearted and keen to play it down.
  
  He answered, somewhat jokingly: "It was a good position, I thought: 'I can take it', but Didier's a strong man!"
  
  "It was a fantastic free-kick, but I could score after, so it's okay.
  
  "After the game it's fine. During the game, everyone wants to win. It was a great victory, everybody played very strong today, so that's not important."

  This is what happens when it's very intense and players are very determined. If players have that 'don't care' attitude, you think this kind of things will happen? It happens even to the very best of players.

  Bruce, Grobbelaar and Steve Mcmanaman, Dunga when he was still captain of Brazil.

  The fight between Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer was a different thing altogether though.
