The Red Devils took home all three points through goals from Rooney and Berbatov, while Black and White shirts were reduced to the pleasure of drilling a hole in the Dutch dike. Nine minutes into the game, the Magpies found the back of the net and Van der Sar’s record clock read 1311 minutes. With this victory, Man United extended their unbeaten run to 14 matches in all competitions.
The Lilywhites thrashed Middlesbrough like the top table team that they were touted to be at the beginning of the season. Keane bagged his first goal since his return to The Lane, while Pavlyuchenko put in another as Aaron Lennon netted twice. Tottenham are slowly drawing away from the relegation zone, as Boro are currently in big trouble after this loss, since they currently languish in the bottom three.
The Gunners finally found their scoring shoes after failing to score in their last four league outings. They outclassed rock bottom West Brom, but a victory such as this is but expected of a club that has consistently finished at the top for a long time now. Wenger will be particularly pleased with the win, since Villa dropped points at Eastlands, thereby allowing Arsenal to close the gap to only three points. Another boost for the fans at the Emirates is that Villa will travel to Anfield as well as Old Trafford very soon. It has to be noted that both the Red teams have not lost at home this season, and it will be an acid test to the Villans hope of a Champions League spot.
Another round passes by us swiftly, as each team will look to improve, since the business end of the season will be upon us soon.
Here are the midweek results:
Portsmouth (0-1) Chelsea
West Brom (1-3) Arsenal
Liverpool (2-0) Sunderland
