Samuel Eto'o's hat-trick helped Chelsea beat Manchester United by 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.
With 16 league games remaining, United Manchester is now lagging behind the leading team Arsenal by 14 points after losing Sunday's match.

David Moyes, who has been chosen by British football's renowned manager Alex Ferguson as his replacement, said that the team had a bit of a bad luck with the first one but no one else could be blamed other than the team itself for the next two goals.
