I watched it until it got to 3-0.

 

Looks like Danny Welbeck will be out 4-5 weeks with a hamstring injury though.

 

Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck has been ruled out for four to five weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the 8-2 win over Arsenal.

 

Welbeck, who has been in fine form this season, earlier opened the scoring, his second of the new campaign, before pulling up injured in the 35th minute.

 

His injury means he will now miss England's Under-21 games against Azerbaijan and Israel in September.

 

"It is a loss for us and for England," boss Sir Alex Ferguson told BBC Sport.

 

Welbeck joins Rafael da Silva (shoulder), Rio Ferdinand (hamstring) and Nemanja Vidic (calf) on the sidelines for United.

 

"Danny complained of a tight hamstring before he actually pulled it and we couldn't get [Javier] Hernandez on quick enough," said Ferguson, following the rout at Old Trafford.

 

"It is a shame for Danny but it [his absence] will be around four to five weeks."

The injury overshadowed Chelsea's second victory of the season, which was wrapped up by Juan Mata scoring on his debut in the 11th minute of stoppage time resulting from Drogba's injury.

 

The Ivory Coast striker's head was caught in a collision with Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy and he was carried off on a stretcher wearing what appeared to be a breathing aid following seven minutes' treatment on the pitch.

 

"Drogba will be released from hospital tonight following medical tests,'' Chelsea said on its website. "The club's medical staff will continue to monitor the 33-year-old over the coming days.''

 

Drogba remained unconscious "for quite some time'' after leaving the Stamford Bridge pitch, manager Andre Villas-Boas said after the match.

:o OUCH!!! He fell on his head!!! Get well soon, D!!! You're in my prayers!

Man City with another nice win today against Everton. I am kind of surprised at the amount of fans that are showing up. With a three decade trophy drought (before May), all the league games have been sold out so far. Talk about some loyal fans!
