Wayne Rooney feels his Manchester United side dominated Chelsea, who are set to be Premier League champions, today, when going down to a 1-0 defeat.
Chelsea took the lead in the 38th minute at Stamford Bridge after a good move for the Blues allowed Eden Hazard the space to fire the home side in front.
The Blues quickly dropped deep in the second half and let Manchester United have the ball. The Red Devils had 75 per cent possession to Chelsea's 25 per cent, with the Blues playing as if the away side.
Manchester United brought Angel di Maria and Adnan Januzaj on from the bench, but despite Radamel Falcao and Rooney having chances, could not find a way through a stubborn Chelsea defence.
The Red Devils toiled, however Chelsea saw out the match to claim a 1-0 victory and put one hand on the Premier League title.
