Manchester United striker Robin van Persie after the 1-1 draw with Chelsea: “Overall we had more chances but it’s a fair result. A mixed feeling.”
“I had two chances early but Courtois made good saves. But I’m always thinking positive and luckily that chance fell to my feet,” he continued.
“If you come back like this it’s a boost but if you look at the table… we should have won today but it didn’t happen. We can be happy”

Chelsea sit atop the Premier League table for a reason. The Blues might just be the best team in Europe. They are beautiful to watch. Robin van Persie is right that United could have won today, the chances were there. However, just getting points from a match against Jose Mourinho’s side is something substantial. They are indeed that good.
In the words of Nicole Scherzinger (PussyCat Dolls lead singer) “don’t cha wish your striker was RVP?”
