The crowd had been singing for Joe Cole for some time before the player was introduced in a like-for-like switch for Deco. That was with 63 minutes gone. The Chelsea play had lacked cohesion. What would the introduction of the crowd favourite bring? A huge, similar smile to the fans' faces appeared on Evan's. This would definately bring Chelsea back.
Before any impact came from Cole though, Rooney went close twice, shooting just two yards wide after Valencia's return pass and then testing Cech at his top corner, making Evan extremely nervous. That guy had to be stopped before Chelsea conceded anything. He used to think after Ronaldo's leave United was nothing, but Rooney was definately doing a good job there. Why didn't he tired out or something, so that he could leave before any 'accident' for Chelsea?
On 72 minutes came one of the game's big talking points. Another high ball had been launched in Drogba's direction and as he jumped with Evans, the Man United defender turned and raised his foot, catching the Chelsea man in the ribs, inside the area. Evan gasped at the action and made a face as he buried his face in both of his hands. Noo! Drogba couldn't get injured! And why didn't the referee give a penalty? That was the most violent foul on pitch today. However, to fans' and Evan's fury, the referee continued the game and after Drogba had been treated, the referee, quite incredibly, managed to book him! This infuriated Evan even further as some not very pleasant words slipped through his lips towards the referee. The only defence for that incredibly blind man could be his angle of view hadn't seen the boot high. Though even that wouldn't prove him to be right. What was a referee's job other than examining it and giving the right call?! He hummed some more, rhyming with the fans on the TV.
A minute later Fletcher chopped down Ashley Cole and no card was shown, to the crowd's and Evan's ire, although the away team were angered by the award of the free-kick. This truly angered the blondie as he suddenly jumped and actually yelled at the referee as if he could hear him. However, Chelsea disquiet was soon forgotten. Lampard's free-kick was attacked by both Terry and Anelka, both got a touch as a header dropped into the bottom corner.
Evan, who was already standing, jumped two metres high in the air then with a shout of joy. "GOAAAAALLLLL!!!!" He ran to Marie and hugged her with an undescribable smile of happiness on his face. THEY WERE GOING TO WIN THIS! TERRY HAD SCORED, AND THEY COULD WIN IT! He turned back at the TV to live that goal again. To his amusement, both Anelka and Terry celebrated like it was their goal, each oblivious to the other's run, and common consensus on initial viewing was that it was Terry's to keep, although a TV replay suggests differently. The debate may continue. It did not matter at all though. It was Chelsea's goal again United, and that sealed it.
Marie continued to watch Evan but occassionaly turned to watch the match too. Things seemed to be getting pretty intense as the minutes ticked away and no one scored. Then something happened that made even her jump a little. As one of the Chelsea players got kicked hard in the ribs she groaned and grabbed her own side as if she was the one that got kicked. Her attention quickly tuned back to Evan when she heard those not so nice words he was saying.
As the match came close to the end she continued to watch him jump and yell at the TV like they could actually hear him. She looked back at the TV just as......WHOA!......Chelsea scored. Someone actually got a goal, maybe now the game wouldn't end in a tie. She quickly looked back at Evan knowing he was going to be jumping up and down with joy. She wasn't prepared for for the hug she got from him though. She knew he would be happy if Chelsea scored but WOW, now she was happy too. She quickly hugged him back as she smiled like she had just won something. Watching the match again she had a feeling that Chelsea could actually win now.
