Glory Glory Man United
The Red Machine continues on the pathway to glory, as a late scramble against Blackpool this morning preserved the unbeaten league record.
After smashing Birmingham last weekend, United came up against a much more determined opposition this morning.
Blackpool were 2-0 up and the better side at half-time, thanks to headed goals from poorly defended corners from Craig Cathcart and DJ Campbell. But with the home side’s tempo and energy expended, and with substitutes Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez providing pace and penetration, the final 20 minutes was all one-way traffic. Dimitar Berbatov got the first of two goals after 72 minutes, then Hernandez equalised before his Bulgarian strike-partner completed the turnaround with two minutes of normal time remaining – although there were ten minutes of added time to survive due to a serious head injury suffered by Rafael.
