Manchester United in draw after trailing 3-0 - San Francisco Chronicle

Javier Hernandez completed Manchester United's comeback from a 3-0 deficit at Chelsea on Sunday with a late header that salvaged a 3-3 draw and left the defending champions two points off the Premier League lead.

After storming to a 3-0 lead by the 50th minute, Chelsea collapsed at home by conceding two penalties that Wayne Rooney converted and then allowing Hernandez to tie it in the 84th.

"It's two points lost," Rooney said. "We understand that, but after being 3-0 down - the (Manchester) City players at home must have liked that - we enjoyed the way we fought back."

United inadvertently gave Chelsea the lead when Jonny Evans turned the ball into his own net in the first half, and Juan Mata and David Luiz found the net just after halftime.
