Hoddle’s Wembley afternoon to forget

GLENN HODDLE’S Chelsea underdogs matched Manchester United blow for blow in the first half, but were torn apart in the second.

Two penalties — the second a clash between Frank Sinclair and Andrei Kanchelskis which referee David Elleray later admitted he shouldn’t have given — were coolly converted by Eric Cantona.

Hoddle came on to inspire a late Chelsea flourish, but Mark Hughes and Brian McClair both scored to ensure United sealed the double. CHELSEA: Kharine, Clarke, Johnsen, Kjeldbjerg, Sinclair, Burley (Hoddle 68), Newton, Peacock, Wise, Spencer, Stein (Cascarino 78). MANCHESTER UNITED: Schmeichel, Parker, Bruce, Pallister, Irwin (Sharpe 84), Kanchelskis (McClair 84), Ince, Keane, Giggs, Hughes, Cantona.
