0 shoutsLONDON (Ticker) -- Manchester United's team bus was attacked as it left Stamford Bridge on Sunday night.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side were making their way to Euston for their return journey to the northwest after the 1-1 draw with Chelsea when a bottle was hurled at the windshield.
No one was injured, although the windshield was cracked.
Nevertheless, the team continued on their short trip across London without further incident.
United officials were eager to play down the incident afterwards.
"Yes. There was an incident but the matter is now in the hands of the police," a club spokesman said.
The last time United visited the stadium, Patrice Evra became involved in a heated post-match exchange with Chelsea groundsman Sam Bethell which is still the subject of an FA investigation while Rio Ferdinand was forced to apologize to a female steward after kicking a ball at her in anger.
Sunday's encounter was not much less contentious, with United picking up seven yellow cards from referee Mike Riley which will now see them fined by the FA.
