United 3-0 Fulham

Another brace from Rooney


United took three more points to keep them at the top of the league after Chelski claimed it temporarily with comfortable 4-1 victory against West Ham. It was relative easy and comfortable game for United. A one sided match that miraculously ended without a goal at half time.

Then 30 seconds after the interval Rooney struck. A cross from the left by Nani was superbly finished by Rooney who made it look very easy. The second goal was also from Rooney. Berbatov was the provider. Skillfully he got past two defenders on the right, then passed the ball to Rooney. Although it was a not clean strike, Rooney managed to guide the ball to the back of the net.

The third goal was well orchestrated. Rooney started the move. From the left Rooney dispatched perfect diagonal ball to Ji Sung Park who took it beautifully with his chest. Then he crossed the ball to the center where Berba and Nani were waiting. Berba attacked the ball and with diving header he scored the third.

The pressure now is at Chelski although the London's team had a game in hand. Arsenal also very close and will take the opportunity if the two slipped.
