[b]PREMIER LEAGUE: Man Utd ensure Tottenham’s long wait for win at Old Trafford continues

Tuesday, August 23, 2011[b]



Tottenham’s 22 year wait for a league win at Old Trafford continues after they went down 3-0 to Manchester United, extending the Reds unbeaten home run to 15 months in the Premier League.

Manchester United have now gone 22 games unbeaten at home and whilst Tottenham threatened more than once, after a scoreless first-half United increased the pressure and deservedly scored three goals.

The first period was evenly contested with end-to-end action with Spurs in particular keen to test out United’s rookie keeper David De Gea from distance.

And whilst there may have been some merit to this tactic it relied on more accurate shooting than that provided by Rafael Van der Vaart.

Both keepers needed to make smart saves in the first 45 minutes but after the break it was Spurs stopper Brad Friedel who came under the most pressure.

Danny Welbeck headed the host’s into the lead with a header just on the hour from Tom Cleverley's inviting right-wing cross.

This lead was doubled after a flowing move ended with Anderson firing home after a cheeky back-heel from Welbeck set up the Brazilian.

Spurs hit-back almost immediately with Jermain Defoe's volley hitting the post via a slight deflection off Chris Smalling.

Wayne Rooney then missed a sitter from point-blank range but redeemed himself with three minutes remaining by heading home a Ryan Giggs cross, as United begin the season with successive victories.

Referee: Lee Probert

Venue: Old Trafford

Attendance: 75,498

Man Utd scorers: Welbeck 61, Anderson 76, Rooney 87 Tottenham scorers:

Yellow cards: Evans (MU), Dawson (TOT), Defoe (TOT)

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

These 3 are very interesting and have lots of potential. Young is not too bad.

But I think that SAF should let Evans go and bring up another young champ.

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

Another good game for Man U at home.

Looking back whenever Brad Friedel was at goal against Man U during his days with Blackburn he had always been the big block and Manu U don't score many goals pass him. Therefore this morning when he was at goal instead of Gomez I told myself........oh! oh!

Consider all the shots at goals between Man U and Spurs the figure was quite alarming. It was a very entertaining game with both side attacking. Spurs had a very strong team with Bale and Lennon on each side and Defoe and Rafael VDV spear head the attack. In all fairness Spur did not play bad but Man U played better and yes, those youngsters were good and hard working. Hope they will keep themselves injury free as long as they can.

Next game, Man U and Arsenal is going to be very interesting and looking forward for another good game from both sides.

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

Totally agreed with your post match comments!

But can you give SAF a ring and ask him to sell Berbatov? ;)

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

the current batch of youngsters are a joy to watch! everytime they play the team is full of energy!

and this phil jones, does anyone believe he's only 19??

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

jones making up at least 3 metres on bale is really something! and he's only 19this year.

it was reported that sir alex was very impressed with jones when united thrashed blackburn 7-1 last season. even at 5-1 down, jones was shouting encouragement to every blackburn player. sir alex decided then that jones is a must-buy.

i am just glad that united has secured his signature.

sir alex has already warned ferdinand and vidic to be on their toes and that jones is hungry and will seize at every opportunity for a first team place.

he will be the rock at the defence for both united and england in the not-too-distant future. a future captain too? :)

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

read that report too! he did not give up!

smalling and jones will be our future defenders in long run! for united and england? :D

Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours
 

damn that Phil Jones kid. he might not be as smooth as Rio, but boy, that kid can really bring the ball out of his area and bulldoze into the opposition third. got a sneaky feeling he will captain the Devils one day.
