Man U thrashes West Brom

Manchester United thrashed West Bromwich albion 4-0 with Wayne Rooney continuing his goalscoring run with 8 goals in 6 games for club and country. The other goals came from Cristiano Ronaldo, Tottenham signing Dimitar Berbatov and Nani. There was also another thrashing by Chelsea, who beat Middlesbrough by five goals to nil. 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.
