Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford and Chelsea’s come-from-behind 2-1 win over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge shook up the title race with Chelsea climbing into the top two positions for the first time since the end of August.
United beat Liverpool with goals from Wes Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani while Liverpool were forced to play the second half with 10 men after Javier Mascherano was sent off for dissent.
“The title race will go right to the end of the season,” United’s coach Ferguson said. “We’ve beaten a really strong Liverpool side and we did it with some really good football.
Didier Drogba scored twice in the last 17 minutes to give Chelsea victory over Arsenal who had taken the lead with a header from defender Bacary Sagna after 59 minutes.
Arsenal have lost their nerve with the finish line in sight, failing to win any of their last five matches and Wenger knows they have handed Sir Alex Ferguson’s side the initiative.
“Of course it is a big setback when you add the four games we drew and then losing here,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. “I feel we have to come back to winning games before we dream of the title.
With seven matches to play champions United lead with 73 points, followed by Chelsea (68), Arsenal (67), and Liverpool 59.
