RECAP:UNITED WIN,CHELSEA LOOSE

Despite a disappointing start to the
season, United have now gone six
games without defeat in all
competitions following a 3-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
David Moyes's side went 3-0 up inside 22 minutes, with Antonio valencia tapping in a ninth-minute opener from Wayne Rooney's square pass. Robin van persie's emphatic finish from Adnan Januzaj's measured through ball made it 2-0 and the Dutchman then centred for rooney to add a third. Alex Kacaniklic pulled a goal back for Fulham in the 65th minute with a shot that deflected in off Rooney, but the champions saw out a victory that elevated them to within two points of the top four.

Here is what moyes had to say:
"It's always been my team since I've
taken over from Sir Alex Ferguson," said United manager Moyes.
"It can take time to settle in and it has for us, but Manchester United usually make slow starts and get better as the season goes on."

Chelsea could have gone top with a
victory at Newcastle, but instead they went down 2-0 on a rain-soake afternoon at St James' Park.
John Terry twice went close for Chelsea in the first half, hitting the bar with a header from a corner and then seeing an effort cleared off the line by Davide Santon.
However, Newcastle took a 68th-minute lead when Yoan gouffran converted Yohan Cabaye's free-kick with a diving header and loic Remy sealed Chelsea's fate with a minute to play.

Here is what mourinho had to say:
"I didn't like it. I think we deserved to lose," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told BT sport
"We had a couple of good chances to score the equaliser, but they were in the game more than us, they fought more than us and they were much more committed than us."

Chelsea's defeat saw them slip to third place, with Liverpool overtaking them on goal difference, while Newcastle climbed to ninth.
