<p>Javier Hernandez grabbed a 3-2 victory for Manchester United at Premier League leaders Chelsea after the previously unbeaten hosts had been reduced to nine men in a tempestuous clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. </p>.<p>The Mexican, looking suspiciously offside, tapped in the winner in the 75th minute to kill off a vibrant Chelsea side who had battled back from 2-0 down before having Branislav </p>.<p>Ivanovic and Fernando Torres sent off by referee Mark Clattenburg. <br />A David Luiz own goal gave United the lead after four minutes and Robin van Persie fired the visitors 2-0 ahead eight minutes later. </p>.<p>Juan Mata began the Chelsea fightback with a curling free kick in the 44th minute and Ramires hauled Chelsea level shortly after the break with a header. </p>.<p>However, Chelsea's momentum was halted when Ivanovic was red-carded for tripping Ashley Young and worse followed when Fernando Torres appeared to have been felled by Jonny Evans but was instead shown a second yellow card for diving. </p>.<p>The home crowd roared its disapproval and then watched on as Hernandez, on as a substitute for Tom Cleverley, poked home United's winner from close range. <br />Victory lifted United back above neighbours Manchester City into second place on goal difference with 21 points, one point behind Chelsea. <br /><br />Earlier Everton recovered from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Merseyside rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park while Gareth Bale was on target against his old club as Tottenham Hotspur moved into the top four with a 2-1 victory at struggling Southampton. <br />Newcastle United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 at home. </p>.<p>Chelsea and United drew 3-3 at Stamford Bridge last season in the Premier League and the latest chapter in their rivalry proved equally dramatic. </p>.<p>United, who meet Chelsea again this week in the League Cup, made a blistering start as they went 2-0 ahead after 12 minutes. </p>.<p>Chelsea, again playing with Oscar, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata in an attacking formation behind Torres, cleared their heads and a minute before halftime Mata curled an unstoppable free kick past Davis de Gea to give them hope. <br /><br />They were level after 53 minutes when Ramires climbed to head in Oscar's dinked cross in a crowded area. <br /><br />Hernandez then rubbed salt into Chelsea's wounds as the crowd sang "3-2 to the referee".</p>
