Premier League Vault | Chelsea 3-3 Man Utd 2012

Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback against Chelsea as Javier Hernandez sealed a 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge in 2012.

As we prepare for Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge with United on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from at 4pm, we look back at a classic from the 2011/12 season.

After what was a largely ordinary first 45 minutes that saw Chelsea command an advantage courtesy of Jonny Evans' unfortunate own goal, what followed it has rarely been matched in Premier League history in terms of unadulterated entertainment.

Just seconds had elapsed when Juan Mata scored with an angled volley that threatened to rip the netting out of David de Gea's goal, before Rio Ferdinand joined Evans in putting through his own goal when he deflected in David Luiz's header from a set-piece.

Wayne Rooney twice kept his nerve from the penalty spot after first Patrice Evra and then more contentiously Danny Welbeck were adjudged to have been fouled in the area.

The home side were shell shocked and none more so than six minutes from time when Hernandez nodded in from close range Ryan Giggs' cross after Petr Cech had parried Rooney's snapshot.
