Phil Scolari lose another Chelsea record...
-
Phil Scolari lost another Chelsea record last night without having even taken the field... Chelsea 10 matches without conceding a goal set in 2004/05 season was last night replaced by United's Van der Sar 11 match run.
West Bromwich Albion 0 - 5 Manchester United
EDWIN VAN DER SAR was invincible again as Manchester United set a new Premier League shut-out record.
They have kept 11 clean sheets on the bounce and the Dutch keeper has gone 1,032 minutes without conceding.
Boss Alex Ferguson said: “Edwin has achieved everything but he’s as delighted now as he was after saving that penalty in the Champions League final in Moscow.”
Van der Sar has eclipsed the previous best shut-out time of 1,025 minutes, set by Petr Cech in 2004-05.
United are three points clear at the top of the table after their biggest away triumph since they won 8-1 at Nottingham Forest in 1999.
Fergie declared: “We’ve got the show on the road. Today we saw a ruthless streak that’s not been there this season. We hoped it was going to come, we expected it to come. Tonight was the first indication that it’s there.
“Our form has come at a good time.”
West Brom defender Paul Robinson was sent off for a late sliding tackle on Park Ji Sung.

Not really also lah... He had to put up with 9 different back four at some point and some of them were so young and inexperience like Evans, Rafael, Eckersely...All that took part in the record making... Neville, Brown, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, O'Shea, Evans, Evra and Eckersely..

All the defenders did pretty well I guess, esp Vidic, Evra and Raf.
Golden gloves for VDS!!
