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

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.

Man Utd 2 – 1 Liverpool

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.

Carling Cup Final: Aston Villa 1 – 2 Manchester United

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.
