Man U hammers Hammers

Manchester United beat the Hammers or better known as West Ham United 2-0 at home, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice in the first half. His goal tally for the season now stands at 5 goals and it seems that he has recaptured the form that saw him score 42 goals last season. There were claims at the beginning of the season that he was sulking after he failed to engineer a move to Real Madrid but he had put up and inspiring display in front of the Old Trafford crowd. The Red Devils could have taken the lead in the 2nd minute but Dimitar Berbatov saw his shot somehow deflected over the bar by Hammers goalie Matthew Upson. Nani also had a missed attempt. Manchester United saw many missed attempts at goal. When Rooney came on in the 70th minute, he failed to continue his goal run nor inspire the other players to continue to go on a scoring spree.

Man U draws with Everton

Manchester United drew with Everton 1-1 at Goodison Park. United took the lead early in the game after Darren Fletcher gave United the lead in a one-sided first half. In the second half was another story as Everton came out in the second with a strong second half. If United had won, they would have closed in to 3 points of the leaders. Hull City thrashed West Bromwich Albion 3-0 to continue their amazing start to their first season in their 104-year history with goals from Kamil Zayatte, Geovanni and Marlon King to leave on level points with leaders Liverpool and Chelsea.

Man U thrashes Celtic

Manchester United beat Scottish champions Celtic 3-0 in a Champions League match. Man U strikers Dimitar Berbatov, who scored a brace, and Wayne Rooney were on the scoresheet. It was Berbatov's 4th and 5th goals for United while Rooney scored his 9th goal in 7 matches for club and country. United could have gone ahead in the second minute when Nani crossed into the penalty area but an unmarked Anderson could not connect with the ball. In the second half, Rooney had a goal disallowed for offside although it looked onside in TV replays. Celtic, who had only one striker, had to start with a 4-5-1 formation. They now have only one point from their opening 3 matches, look set to be eliminated from the competition. United's winger Cristiano Ronaldo limped off with an injury late in the second half which could hurt their present form.

Man U thrashes West Brom

Liverpool on the other hand had another scare when Wigan Athletic gave them a scare by scoring 2 goals in the first half before Liverpool fought back and won the game 3-2. Bolton and Blackburn played out a goaless draw with Blackburn almost taking the lead through Carlos Villanueva but his shot came off the bar. Portsmouth and Aston Villa also had the same result but the hosts could scarcely claim to win the match as they relied heavily on goalkeeper Brad Friedel to protect goal. The match was overshadowed by an incident which a fan threw a coin which pole-axed the refree's assistant. Sunderland manager Roy Keane must be fuming as they were denied a goal even though Kieran Richardson's freekick went into the net. The refree ruled that there was a infringement in the wall.
