Community Shield 2010 – Chelsea 1 – 3 Man Utd
If Javier Hernandez plays for the next ten years for United he will never score a more bizarre goal than he did against Chelsea in the Community Shield today. The promising Mexican forward scored just 30 minutes into his very first competitive game in a United shirt being a second-half sub. Somehow he managed to [...]
Man Utd 4 – 0 Stoke
Despite a 4-0 win over Stoke United finished the season one point behind Chavsea.
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.
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. Read more »
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
United erased memories of Saturdays performance against Everton as they returned to within one point of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League. Wayne Rooney has had a habit of scoring goals with his head recently (five headed goals in the last seven games) and today was no different as he grabbed another brace in a comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham.
As per usual Sir Alex made some changes to his starting eleven with Ben Foster surprisingly picked in goal. Nemanja Vidic, Darron Gibson, Paul Scholes and Anderson also returned but there was no place for van der Sar and Rio Ferdinand in the squad possibly with Sundays Carling Cup final in mind.

Manchester United’s Premier League title challenge was dealt a major blow at Everton with a 3-1 win over the champions at Goodison Park.
United looked lethargic after their fighting mid-week victory against AC Milan and looked a shadow of that side as they fell to their first defeat in nine league games.
The result left United in second spot again, one point behind leaders Chelsea, who can will invariably beat Wolves later in the afternoon.
Despite the shock of conceding an early goal United recovered to take charge of the last-16 first tie against AC Milan.
However, Milan gave themselves a semblance of hope to progress further when Clarence Seedorf pulled a goal back in the final five minutes.
Before the game all the talk was about David Beckham taking on his former team-mates for the first time since leaving Old Trafford. All week Beckham had been very complimentary about United showing he will always be a Red at heart. The former Red Devils hero was named in Milan’s starting line-up despite being on the bench for his teams previous two games, while Rio Ferdinand returned to the visitors’ defence.
