What a week for Man United… a great win against there fierce rival (Arsenal) and against a big four in the title race it was really great to see. To start with the first was allover the place as united where not in command and Arsenal with there free flowing football. And after an early spell of Arsenal possession, it was Rooney who chipping cleverly over the Gunners’ defence to find on to Fletcher inside the area, which he blasted over the top.
The game was a pretty open with both sides trying to hit on the counter. Then at 40th min Arshavin found space 25 yards from goal, looked up and lashed a blistering right-footed shot goalwards, Foster did got both the hands but the power in the shot took the ball into the goal.
Rooney converted from the spot to register his fifth goal of the season
Then in the second more resurgent and more dynamic united came on the park closing the arsenal player every quickly and then a great pass from the veteran Giggs saw Rooney running for the ball inside the penalty area where he was brought down by the arsenal goal keeper Almunia; and The Reds’ no.10 – who took the penalty, coolly slotted the ball in the other corner of Almunia goal.
Later again a free kick from Giggs saw the arsenal player at the wrong place to slot a own goal for dismal to himself and the arsenal player Abou Diaby inexplicably headed past Almunia and into his own net for an own goal to give united a 2-1 lead with 25 mins to go for end of the match.
It was a grt game with brilliant performance from Giggs; Rooney and the Darren Fletcher… the whole game he was a influence on the team closing the arsenal player and running to support the lone striker and getting back to defend as well. A really get win.
The drama did close as Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger as giving the marching order when a Gallas Header falled to Robin van Persie which he blasted into the united net for the goal to be disallowed as Gallas was Offside.
