CL QF 1st Leg: Bayern Munich 2 – 1 Man Utd

Posted by admin on March 30th, 2010

Bayern Munich did a 1999 Champions League role reversal with a dramatic 2-1 victory against Manchester United with Ivica Olic scoring with the last kick of the game. Franck Ribery’s deflected second half free-kick had leveled Wayne Rooney’s early effort in the Champions League quarter-final first leg match at the Allianz Arena.

Olic’s extremely late goal and an ankle injury to the in-form Wayne Rooney will give United manager Sir Alex Ferguson sleepless nights ahead of next Wednesday’s second leg and the crunch weekend game against Chelsea.

It took Martin Demichelis only 12 seconds to take out Nani, bringing .him down near the corner flag From the free-kick, United got the perfect start.

Bolton 0 – 4 Man Utd

Posted by admin on March 28th, 2010

A Dimitar Berbatov-inspired brace moved United back to the Premier League summit and was the perfect response to Chelsea’s 7-1 drubbing of Aston Villa earlier in the afternoon.

In the absense of Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand it could have been a difficult game for Sir Alex Gergusons side but Berbatov took on the challenge. He was in masterful form, playing as a lone striker as he scored twice in United’s 4-0 victory against Bolton.

For over thirty minutes of the game Bolton worked hard and made a game of it. This all changed when J Lloyd Samuel inadvertedly placed Ryan Giggs’ 38th minute cross into his own right-hand corner of the net.

From this point on it was Berbatov and Nani that lead the show and staked their claim for a starting role in the important Champions League game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Man Utd 2 – 1 Liverpool

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2010

Manchester United came from behind to retain their slender lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory to all but kill Rafa Benitezs “guarantee” of 4th spot this term.

 

Park Ji-Sung produced the winner after an hour, after Wayne Rooney’s 33rd goal of the season had brought them on level terms with Fernando Torres’ fifth-minute opener.

With Chelsea drawing with Blackburn a few hours later it meant United went two points clear of Arsenal and four points of Chelsea (who have a game in hand). It was a nervy game for United but Liverpool have stood still as a team since their victory in the corresponding fixture last season.

Man Utd 3 – 0 Fulham

Posted by admin on March 14th, 2010

Wayne Rooney (who else?!) fired United back to the top of the Premier League as his brace inspired a 3-0 win over Fulham.

The previous day United had been knocked off the top spot by Chelsea beating West Ham comprehensively 4-1 but Rooney struck 30 seconds after half-time at Old Trafford (much as he did mid-week against AC Milan) and took his goal tally to 32 in the closing stages of the match.

CL: Man Utd 4 – 0 AC Milan

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010

 For United legend David Beckham there was no fairytale Old Trafford return as United cruised into the Champions League quarter-finals after a 4-0 win over AC Milan.

Rooney again was the chief tormentor as he scored a goal in each half brining his goal tally for the season upto 30 and killing any chance Milan had of Beckham leading them to victory on his former stomping ground.

Instead, it was United who killed the game as Ji-Sung Park ran onto Scholes’ pass to further widen the gap before Darren Fletcher headed a fourth near the end to truly humiliate Milan.

Wolves 0 – 1 Man Utd

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010

United returned to the Premier League summit with a battling 1-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux all thanks to Paul Scholes’s 100th Premier League strike.

Scholes’s goal from 9 yards was the difference between both sides after Wolves sub Sam Vokes missed an absolute sitter in injury time.

Thanks to the victory United went 2 points clear of both Chelsea and Arsenal (who beat Burnley earlier in the day 3-1). This was one of those scrappy victories that Champions have a habit of grinding out when they don’t play at their best.

Carling Cup Final: Aston Villa 1 – 2 Manchester United

Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010

United came from behind today to win their second consecutive League Cup with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium.
The game started ominously for United when Aston Villa had a penalty in the 4th minute. Ashley Young played in Gabriel Agbonlahor with the ball over the top. Agbonlahor then raced towards the penalty box with Vidic chasing him frantically. Having tried to tug his shirt he then tackled and bought down Villa’s striker very clumsily giving the refree no choice but to point to the spot. Villa boss Martin O’Neill could be seen mouthing he should be sent off. Luckily Vidic didn’t receive a card. Milner stepped up and thumped the ball into right-hand side of the goal: 1-0 to Villa.

It needed the goal for United to get into their stride and it took all of eight minutes for them to get their equaliser. Dimitar Berbatov took the ball from Richard Dunne high on the right wing and rushed towards goal. Dunne managed to backtrack and get the ball away from Berbatov just as he got into the box Unfortunately for him though the ball fell straight to Owen, who placed the ball first time right into the right hand post: 1-1.
