“Telepathic” is how many pundits described the legendary striker partnership between Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole, who in three seasons (1998-2001) combined for a whopping 123 goals with Manchester United.

Yorke and Cole reunited for this video, where they challenge United’s current strikers Wayne Rooney, Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, and Danny Welbeck to replicate their telepathic connection on the soccer field by wearing blindfolds in drills!

This short video is really fun to watch, and Rooney steals the show late when he one-times a Welbeck cross and smashes it right into the top corner!

United, Chelsea deliver the goals in entertaining draw

Sunday’s FA Cup quarterfinal between Manchester United and Chelsea was one of the highest quality, and we think we speak for all neutral fans that a replay next week sounds like a wonderful idea!

We thought we found our Goal of the Month nominee today with this entry from Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, who gave Manchester United an early lead with a header from an impossible angle….

…but then Wayne Rooney had to be all like “You think that’s good?” and responded with a Goal of the Month nominee of his own, just 6 minutes later! United looked in the clear…

…until the second half, when Eden Hazard got Chelsea started on the comeback with this fantastic curler from outside the box!

Which goal was your favorite? Remember you can submit your favorites each month on twitter using #GOMonFOX.
