02/05/2012 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester United fell two points back of Manchester City on Sunday, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side did well to claim a point at Stamford Bridge as the club rallied from three goals down to snatch a 3-3 draw.
A Jonny Evans own goal handed Chelsea a 1-0 lead at the break, while the Blues needed just 25 seconds into the second half to grab a second as Juan Mata found the net.
David Luiz scored in the 50th minute to make it 3-0, but United began its comeback in the 58th minute with a successful penalty kick from Wayne Rooney.
Rooney scored again from the spot 10 minutes later and Javier Hernandez completed the improbable comeback with a header seven minutes from time.
Chelsea has now drawn its last three games and sits 14 points back of leaders Manchester City.
The first half was lacking in action in front of goal with the lone incident occurring in the 36th minute.
Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge got into the penalty area on the right and tried to pull the ball back to the front of goal, but it deflected off of United's Evans and rolled across the goal line.
But there was plenty of drama after the break with Chelsea doubling its lead through Mata, who scored on a close-range volley following a cross from Fernando Torres.
Mata's free kick five minutes later was headed home at the near post by Luiz, and it appeared Chelsea was on its way to a big victory.
However, United got back into the match when Sturridge brought down Patrice Evra inside the area, allowing Rooney to beat goalkeeper Petr Cech from the spot.
Branislav Ivanovic gave away a second penalty kick 10 minutes later when he brought down Danny Welbeck, and again Rooney got the better of Cech to make it 3-2.
The comeback was complete in the 83rd minute when a left-wing cross from Ryan Giggs found the head of Hernandez six yards from goal and he redirected it home.
Chelsea then had two good chances in stoppage time to claim the win as Mata's free kick was kept out by a great stop from goalkeeper David De Gea, who also needed to tip a shot from Gary Cahill over the crossbar in the dying moments.
Newcastle 2, Aston Villa 1
Newcastle, England - Papiss Demba Cisse scored the winning goal in his Newcastle debut on Sunday, firing home a left-footed shot from the edge of the area that gave the Magpies a 2-1 win over Aston Villa at Sports Direct Arena.
Demba Ba returned from the African Cup of Nations to put Newcastle in front on the half-hour mark, scoring his 16th goal of the campaign after smashing a loose ball past goalkeeper Shay Given.
Robbie Keane leveled the match for Villa deep into first-half stoppage time by heading home a cross from Charles N'Zogbia, but Cisse stole the headlines in his debut.
The Senegal striker came on for the injured Leon Best in the first half, and he made the most of his first appearance by taking a cross from Jonas Gutierrez down off his chest and sending a well-struck half volley into the upper-left corner of the net.
It was a dream start for Cisse and the goal allowed Newcastle to grab its fourth win in five games, taking the team into fifth place.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
