Man U Wins Again! Can They Hold On To Win? Have Your Say Here.

Report from Soccernet.com

Manchester City's 32-year wait for an Old Trafford win goes on as United moved another step closer in their quest to end a three-year title drought with a 3-1 derby triumph.

Louis Saha sneaks in United's second.Cristiano Ronaldo's late goal ensured the Red Devils marched nine points clear of Chelsea at the Premiership summit, although Sir Alex Ferguson might not have been too happy at the way his side failed to cruise home after Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha had put them two in front at the break.

For 12 nervy minutes after Hatem Trabelsi's magnificent effort had breathed fresh life into a contest which saw City battle hard without ever looking likely to win, United were a bundle of nerves.

Louis Saha exorcised the ghost of his Champions League miss against Celtic by sliding home the spot-kick, but United were pegged back on 66 minutes when substitute James Morrison equalised.

However, United needed less than two minutes to restore their advantage, Darren Fletcher heading home the winner.
That United deserved to lead at half-time was not in any doubt, but the way in which they achieved it left a sour taste in the mouths of the home fans.

Saha turned just inside the Boro half to race past Jonathan Woodgate and slide a pass to the unmarked Ronaldo. He took the ball in his stride and cut inside Schwarzer, plummeting to the ground in the process.

Foy pointed immediately to the spot, but what contact there was, if any, was minimal. However, Saha stroked the spot-kick past Schwarzer to make it 1-0 ....Read more....
