LONDON - Premier League leaders Manchester United outclassed bottom side Watford 4-0 today to maintain their six-point lead over Chelsea, who beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0.
A Cristiano Ronaldo penalty on 20 minutes, a Lloyd Doyley own goal and strikes from Henrik Larsson and Wayne Rooney gave United acomfortable win despite resting several players.
Chelsea, now on 54 points, did their bit with Didier Drogba notching his 15th league goal of the season, Frank Lampard netting a 30-metre shot and Salomon Kalou adding a late third.
It was not all good news for champions Chelsea. England left back Ashley Cole was stretchered off with what looked like a serious injury after jarring his knee.
