LONDON, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Manchester United pull off a 3-0 Premier League win over Chelsea with goals from Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov on Sunday. The win put United within a point of second-place Chelsea with two games in hand, and winning both of those home matches would allow the defending champions to overtake league leader Liverpool, which was held to a 0-0 draw at Stoke on Saturday.

Manchester United pull off a 3-0 Premier League win over Chelsea with goals from Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov on Sunday.

Liverpool leads the league with 46 points, four ahead of Chelsea, which never tested United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar at Old Trafford.

Vidic scored the opening goal in first-half injury time only moments after Cristiano Ronaldo had what appeared to be a legitimate goal disallowed because the referee hadn't given permission for United's previous corner to be taken.

Vidic's downward header beat Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech at the far post after Berbatov had flicked on a corner from Giggs.
