The match featured a red card for midfielder John Obi Mikel and a tackle from Joe Cole that deserved another.

Foul play: Joe Cole launches into Cristiano Ronaldo

United striker Tevez, scorer of United's first goal in their 2-0 win, said: 'Chelsea pushed the violence to the absolute limit and there could have been other red cards during the match. But justice prevailed in the end and we deserved to win.

'Our game is totally superior to Chelsea's this season and the scoreline was actually a little short of what we deserved.

'I have seen the problems at Chelsea with the change of coach, but this season they have just not developed the rhythm of other years. I don't see that they are superior to any of our other title rivals. Chelsea were very nervous and it was impossible that we were going to lose the match.'

Argentina striker Tevez revealed that he received special congratulations from United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after scoring his first goal for the club.

'I will always remember the goal and for it to come against Chelsea is magic,' he said.

'Sir Alex Ferguson gave me his congratulations after. He is key to me being a success here. I'd heard good things about him before I came here but he is even better than I thought.'
