Man U trashes Hammers

Manchester tharshed West Ham United 4-1 at Old Trafford with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace. United took the lead early in the first half in the third minute with a goal by Ronaldo that took a slight deflection off Lucas Neill. Ronaldo netted his second goal in the 24th minute after Carlos Tevez launched a cross into the six-yard box which Cristiano flicked in easily with his thigh. Two minutes later, Tevez scored a third goal from 30 yards out which the West Ham 'keeper failed to deal with. West Ham scored their only goal of the match in the 28th minute with an overhead kick which Edwin van de Sar failed to catch. Michael Carrick ended the game effectively in the 55th minute with a shot at goal that took a deflection off Lucas Neill again. Man chester United now look set to retain their title for the second succesive year. Chelsea must win tonight against Newcastle and hope United lose to Wigan Atheletic to have some hope of denying the Red Devils.
