Another frustrating United performance saw them come from behind twice to grab a point in a 2-2 draw versus Bolton.
Michael Owen followed his brace in midweek in the Carling Cup against Scunthorpe with the second equalising goal. In a game played without Rio Ferdinand Uniteds’ defence looked rather shaky and it proved so in the sixth minute when Zat Knight scored from a corner.
After Liverpool predictably rolled over and capitulated against Chelsea the title race will go down to the final day of the season as Nani’s 1st half winner helped them to a 1-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
United went into the match knowing that nothing but a victory would do to keep their faint title hopes alive. The starting line-up certainly signalled their intent with Wayne Rooney back in the squad to partner Dimitar Berbatov. The experience of Scholes and Giggs started in midfield.
United narrowed the gap on League leaders Chelsea as the champions stormed to an impressive 3-1 win against title rivals Arsenal.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side stunned Arsenal with two stunning goals in four minutes in the first half at the Emirates and never looked like surrendering their lead.
Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia tipped Nani’s chipped cross cum shot into his own net before Rooney put the champions in cruise control with his 100th Premier League goal.
Park Ji-Sung added United’s third goal in the second half to allow United to close the gap to one point between Chelsea.
Rooney, yet again, showed the predatory instincts that make him, the most lethal forward in the world on current form, aided by Portugal winger Nani, who ran the Arsenal defence ragged with a superb display.
