ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: MANCHESTER UTD 1 - CHELSEA 1 It was an all-out performance by Wayne Rooney for Manchester United against Chelsea , the club he is rumoured to join. The game ended 0-0 but there is so much to talk about before and after the match. Rooney was named in the first eleven despite suggestions that he is not in ideal relationship with United's new manager David Moyes . The match titled as the Chosen One against the Special One (Moyes vs Mourinho) can only be remembered for a number of penalty appeals. But none of them were given by the referee and both team failed to score in normal play. Great defending from both teams had avoided real clear-cut chances. United midfielders were not creative enough to create real opportunities, while Chelsea started without a real recognised striker. With the result, Chelsea moved to the top of the table with 1 point more than Liverpool and Tottenham. Not enough  FOOTBALL ??? Click HERE !

B.Satiananthan 's men had more composure in a fair share of possession. Skipper Hairuddin Omar played attacking midfielder role to allow Marlon Alex James to continue pressuring Selangor defence.

MALAYSIA CUP: NEGERI SEMBILAN 3 - PAHANG 5   Negeri Sembilan started the match against Pahang in a very positive mood after winning over Terengganu in the opening match of the current Malaysia Cup campaign. However, they were shocked by Pahang's 5-3 win at their own ground last night. The visitor took the lead in 23rd minutes from Azamuddin Mohd Akil , and the score remained until the break.  Negeri Sembilan started the second half in style when S.Sivanesan scored the equaliser from Fabio's pass in the 48th minute.
