MANCHESTER, England (AP)—Javier Hernandez netted the 19th goal of an explosive debut season at Manchester United in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday that put his team a point away from a record 19th English title.
The Mexico striker took just 36 seconds to score after Chelsea defender David Luiz failed to intercept Park Ji-sung’s through ball.
United captain Nemanja Vidic headed in another in the 23rd minute after connecting with Ryan Giggs’ cross.
Frank Lampard pulled one back for Chelsea in the second half after Branislav Ivanovic flicked on Ramires’ cross.
United is now six points clear of Chelsea with two games to go and will regain the Premier League trophy from the London club with at least a draw at Blackburn on Saturday.
