Oh, what a glorious morning ...
The Reds chalked up a seventh successive win in the Barclays Premier League with a 4-1 win over Aston Villa this morning.
Villa scored an early goal but it was all red (well, black actually) after that. Paul Scholes controlled the midfield and Rooney tormented the Villa defence with his pace and power while his strike partner Carlos Tevez was equally effective.
After 36 minutes Rooney brought United back on level terms. Nani was the creator with a low ball across the Villa area and Rooney got in front of the Villa defence to tuck away the easiest of chances at the far post. A minute before the interval, Rooney put United ahead. Tevez’s superb pass found Rooney in space 12 yards out and he gave Carson no chance with a low drive. United were now rampant and in first half injury-time a goal from Ferdinand increased their lead. Gerard Pique’s initial header from a Nani corner was cleared by Young off the line but Ferdinand was first to react to the rebound and Gardner only succeeded in turning his shot into the roof of the net via the crossbar.
Then in the last 15 minutes Giggs got a deflected shot past the Villa keeper for the fourth goal.
GO YOU REDS
And what a great tonic for an improving Wesley with South Africa winning the Rugby World Cup this morning.
