AC Milan controlled from the start and finally broke through in the second half to beat Napoli 3-0 Monday to open up a five-point lead over city rival Inter Milan in Serie A.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Alexandre Pato each scored after the break at the San Siro.

Ibrahimovic converted a penalty in the 49th minute following a hand ball by defender Salvatore Aronica, Boateng finished off a setup from Pato in the 77th and the Brazilian then shot past two defenders from beyond the area in the 79th.
"It's a pleasure to play in this squad - a squad full of champions," said Pato, who has had an up-and-down season. "I always want to play and the coach chooses for the good of the squad. I'm just here to do my job."
Milan leads with 58 points, Inter has 53 and Napoli is third on 52.
"Napoli is still in the game, we've got to continue like this," said Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri.
Milan also dominated in the first half, but had trouble finding the target as Napoli gathered behind the ball en masse, while Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis prevented an even more lopsided score with several difficult saves in the second half.
At the other end, Napoli forward Edinson Cavani, who has 20 goals this season, rarely saw the ball.
"We weren't able to play the way we wanted to," said Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri.
Netherlands midfielder Mark van Bommel was Milan's most dangerous player early on. He had an excellent look in the 34th but Aronica slid to block his shot.
Aronica also cleared a weak attempt from Pato off the line in the 40th and the Brazilian grew frustrated, drawing a yellow card when he slammed into Aronica near midfield a few minutes later.
Van Bommel had another chance two minutes into the second half which De Sanctis pushed wide.
After Ibrahimovic's goal, Pato nearly doubled the lead if not for a fingertip save from De Sanctis in the 55th. And De Sanctis made another difficult save in the 60th after Pato set up Robinho before Milan took control for good.

    Milan played well and controlled for the majority of the game. Boateng was great when he came in, Hamsik was shyte all game long and virtually disappeared, but it is good to see a team like Napoli being in the position they are in. I think the result was sort of unfair for Napoli though but it is what it is..napoli still tried to play rather hard but were simply outplayed by a good Milan team

    The rosso neri did deserve the three points there is no doubt about that, but why did the Napoli defenders give so much space and time to Pato and others on the ball in the final third??? Cardinal sin when a team has talented finishers up front, I don't think you would have seen that space and time being given in some of the other Leagues.

Alexandre Pato hailed a "great" display by AC Milan as the Rossoneri beat Napoli 3-0 to go five points clear at the top of the table.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the first before Pato set up Kevin Prince Boateng.


Pato then added his team's third as Milan stormed to their third straight win in Serie A.
"We have taken a great victory," Pato said. "We have taken three very important points.
"We played a great second half and we got the win we wanted.
"I really enjoy playing in this team that is full of great champions.
"For me, they are not only team-mates but brothers."
Milan are now five points ahead of Inter Milan but Pato does not see his team as title favourites just yet.
"There are still many games left to play so there is still a long way to go for the Scudetto," he said.
"The important thing is that we are a united side.
"We are taking it one game at a time and now we must focus on our next game against Juventus."
 
Frank Lampard penalty gives Chelsea victory over Manchester United

    Frank-Lampard-celebrates--007.jpg
    Frank Lampard celebrates scoring Chelsea's winner against Manchester United. Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Pride alone was all that was really at stake for Chelsea, yet that is a profound force for players who have come to expect so much for themselves. While this side do, at worst, have to come fourth to take themselves towards next season's Champions League that was not the true issue that inflamed them as they came from 1-0 down to beat Manchester United.
    This was as resounding a clash as ever between these clubs. The night rang with grievances from the losers. Their centre-half Nemanja Vidic was sent off with a second booking in stoppage time following a foul on Ramires and he will therefore miss Sunday's match with Liverpool at Anfield. The United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, complained that there ought to have been a pair of cautions, too, for David Luiz.
    He not only escaped a second yellow card for a foul on Wayne Rooney but also scored his first goal for the club to equalise. Chelsea even won the game in debatable fashion. Frank Lampard slipped the ball to the substitute Yuri Zhirkov and he appeared to run into Chris Smalling, with very slight movement from the centre-half. The referee Martin Atkinson deemed it a foul and Lampard crashed the spot-kick into the middle of the goal after 80 minutes.
    While Chelsea have a seasoned line-up that has appeared jaded at times in this campaign, they did respond to this challenge. The side eased above Tottenham Hotspur into fourth place, but there was another sort of standing in mind. This was the kind of event by which footballers measure themselves and, in their minds, Chelsea regained their proper status.
    With a quarter-final place all but confirmed in the Champions League, the side will feel that purpose has flooded back into this campaign. The glow is all the brighter for the satisfaction in overturning the initial presumptions about the outcome when United were sharper and far more animated. Chelsea then looked set on encouraging the notion that they are a burnt-out team.
    Instead, they went on to singe the prospects of Ferguson's men, who continue to lack Rio Ferdinand and will now see Vidic serve a ban in a critical fixture at Anfield. Fernando Torres is still without a goal since the £50m move from Liverpool, but that was nothing more than an academic issue for Chelsea on an evening of this intensity. United's last victory on this pitch continues to be the one they recorded in 2002. That statistic did not seem likely when an eager side made the opposition seem pedestrian at best in the first-half.
    United had an urgency that promised the kind of impact that brought the opener from Rooney after half an hour. Chelsea may then have been the most disgruntled of all that the forward had not been sent off and so banned for his elbowing of Wigan's James McCarthy at the weekend, but the hosts' own failings before the interval were the true issue.
    Chelsea's selection looked bold, with Torres paired in attack with Nicolas Anelka, but that was an irrelevance while all the energy and appetite were United's. They took the lead and, consistent with Chelsea's sluggishness at that stage, Branislav Ivanovic was dilatory as he allowed Rooney to turn and hit a low 25-yarder whose accuracy was too much for the goalkeeper Petr Cech.
    The merits of Torres and Anelka as a combination could not be debated when the midfield so rarely ferried the ball to them. Chelsea continued to sideline the forwards but in the 54th minute they pulled level. The central defenders were still around United's penalty area following a corner and when Michael Essien flighted the ball into the middle a knock-down from Ivanovic was rifled past Edwin van der Sar at his near post by David Luiz.
    His club would love to suppose that such an exploit does promise a revitalisation to come at Stamford Bridge. But the Brazilian next caught the eye with a foul on Rooney that brought him his booking. United had not been parted from their desire to carry the game to Chelsea.
    The introduction of Didier Drogba for Anelka indicated Ancelotti's intent to maintain freshness in the forward line. If the match itself was not particularly distinguished it held the attention because of the glaring desire of visitors as much as hosts to win this game.
    Poise did go missing and when Rooney went past Essien he then put an aimless ball through an unmanned area of the goalmouth. The attitude of each club was uncompromising. Just as Ancelotti had sent on Drogba, Sir Alex Ferguson introduced Dimitar Berbatov and Ryan Giggs on to the field, with the Welshman equalling Sir Bobby Charlton's record for United of 606 League appearances. It may be a while before Giggs feels there is anything at all to be cherished about this evening.

    Poor team selection from Fergie. Fletcher on the right? There were zero attacks against Cole. Chicharito on from the start with Berba as an impact sub? Yet again the midfield is unable to press and keep the ball when we are trying to protect a lead. They were shockingly deep for the first Chelsea goal. Poor play like that has already cost us a dozen points this season and surfaced again tonight. I fear it may cost us any chance of the title. As soon as we went ahead we sat back and let Chelsea come at us, which they did with aplomb.

    Observations:
    1) Rooney should have been off, again. 2 bookable offences in the first half and both before he scored.
    2) It was a dull game and a draw would have been a fair result.
    3) Roman has billions but can't seemed to be bothered about that pitch.
    4) Fergie looked like Pingu today, the number of times I saw him bob up and down was awesome and funny to watch.
    5) Ancelotti must reading these blogs, finally black gloves with that jacket..🙂
    6) Red card aside, Vidic is bloody beast. It's always awesome watching him play.
    7) How was Torres worth today?
    Finally, Friggity, whatever you say today is correct sir..🙂 and top poster aka Gary Neville aka MookieB...never mind.

  • 60x60.png
    MattLeHoosque 1 March 2011 9:59PM

    VDS did well to keep it down to 2-1 and Vidic has an allergy to Torres. The Spaniard was not even that close and he managed to get himself sent off.
    Luiz was immense.. He was lucky not to get a second booking but there was a hint of dive from Rooney so it must be karma.
    Drogba did a great job when he came on, who said he wasn't a team player?


  • no-user-image.gif
    Kneeslider 1 March 2011 9:59PM

    Utd found out. And nice to see Vidic get a red card even if he did have to commit 3 yellow card offences to get it. All round good job.

    AmsterdamMan 1 March 2011 9:59PM

    Oh well...a loss to a very motivated and aggressive Chelsea team. Can't help feeling that if they played that way every week they wouldn't be fifth. Despite the loss, this was one of Utd's better away performances of the season; especially the first half. No need to get too dispirited.
    Luiz was very, very lucky to stay on. Going off at that stage would've had a huge impact on the game. I will not stand for any ABU's saying Utd get all the decisions. Scandalous. I can guarantee there'll be lost of posts pointing out the moral equivalence to Rooney's elbow against Wigan...well sorry, that's not relevant, and let's not have this argument distract us from the shite decision.
    ...Squeaky bum time.

    Really entertaining game.
    Luiz should've been off. Karma, maybe?
    Liverpool must fancy their chances.
    It's a great result for Arsenal.

    Now Abus who paid Atkinson?
    ​
    Still United. Perfectly good goal disallowed, Vidic getting a thousand second chances etc.

    Wow - a sliver of silver around Sunday's very dark cloud, courtesy of that lot in blue.
    Who'd o' thunk it?...

    Observations:
    1) Rooney should have been off, again. 2 bookable offences in the first half and both before he scored.
    2) It was a dull game and a draw would have been a fair result.
    3) Roman has billions but can't seemed to be bothered about that pitch.
    4) Fergie looked like Pingu today, the number of times I saw him bob up and down was awesome and funny to watch.
    5) Ancelotti must reading these blogs, finally black gloves with that jacket..🙂
    6) Red card aside, Vidic is bloody beast. It's always awesome watching him play.
    7) How was Torres worth today?
    Finally, Friggity, whatever you say today is correct sir..🙂 and top poster aka Gary Neville aka MookieB...never mind.

    @citizenthirdmankane (at the weekend)
    I think that you will find it will… (be a different story at Stamford Bridge)
    Let's see.
    I told you! Didn’t I?

    Absolutely brilliant! Well done Chelsea!
    Massive respect from us Gooners!
    You ‘out-Manxed the Manx’ and you’ve thrown us a lifeline.
    Didn't you love the shot of Mookie B's ugly sister in the crowd?

    Is that the sound of United whinging I hear?
    However didn't Vidic get sent off for wrestling Drogba?
    Grow up United.

    VDS did well to keep it down to 2-1 and Vidic has an allergy to Torres. The Spaniard was not even that close and he managed to get himself sent off.
    Luiz was immense.. He was lucky not to get a second booking but there was a hint of dive from Rooney so it must be karma.
    Drogba did a great job when he came on, who said he wasn't a team player?

    Utd found out. And nice to see Vidic get a red card even if he did have to commit 3 yellow card offences to get it. All round good job.

    Oh well...a loss to a very motivated and aggressive Chelsea team. Can't help feeling that if they played that way every week they wouldn't be fifth. Despite the loss, this was one of Utd's better away performances of the season; especially the first half. No need to get too dispirited.
    Luiz was very, very lucky to stay on. Going off at that stage would've had a huge impact on the game. I will not stand for any ABU's saying Utd get all the decisions. Scandalous. I can guarantee there'll be lost of posts pointing out the moral equivalence to Rooney's elbow against Wigan...well sorry, that's not relevant, and let's not have this argument distract us from the shite decision.
    ...Squeaky bum time.

    how many yellow card offences did vidic commit before he finally saw red?......
    ​
    About 12 less than Luiz. Shit happens though. Great game to bounce back to on Sunday.
