First Robin van Persie\u2019s shot went in off David Luiz via the post, then van Persie converted Antonio Valencia\u2019s low cross for a second.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea got into the game as the half wore on and Juan Mata made their pressure pay with a pinpoint free-kick just before half time, and Ramires headed to equalise.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanovic and Torres were then sent off \u2013 Torres shown a second yellow card for a contentious dive \u2013 and a United winner seemed inevitable.
