Progress for the Red Devils

In the premier league contest today between Fulham and Man U, the Red Devils were able to take away three points from the game. It only took 12 minutes for Man U to open their scoring with a shot from veteran Paul Scholes; he only needs 2 more to eclipse the century mark for goals in the Premier League. 18 minutes later, striker Berbatov also capitalized on his opportunity to put Man U up by 2 before entering the half. Mid-way through the second half, Rooney would also get a goal to seal the win. For Man U it was an enjoyable result with hopefully more to come. As manager Ferguson said, it's all about the mental strength of the players. With the win, they now go 5 points clear ahead of Liverpool. With only 13 games to go and 39 points up for grabs, it does look very hopeful that Man U will once again win the title.

An Update on Man U and Arsenal

In the Man U, West Ham clash, it was a game that looked as if neither side would be able to come away with three points. Just after an hour of play, Ryan Giggs was able to put away a nice shot past West Ham keeper, Robert Green. However, Giggs' shot was not the only one from Ferguson's side. The 20 total shots (with a pathetic 3 on target) cam from Red Devils veteran, Paul Scholes as well as midfield sensation, Cristiano Ronaldo. All in all, probably not the most exciting game to watch, but for Man U and their fans alike, an excellent result on the day; 3 points to go 2 points clear ahead of Rivals Liverpool. These two rivals will be meeting at Old Trafford on March 14th - definitely a game to be watched!

Also today Arsenal battled it out at White Heart Lane against Tottenham. In a first half that ended sorely for Arsenal, with a red card handed out by referee Mike Dean to midfielder Eboue, Arsenal was forced to hold off Tottenham for another 45 minutes. Although Tottenham may have had the upper hand in this match with the extra man, they were unable to capitalize on any chances just as Arsenal was reduced to few and futile chances. With these games completed, the standings are still not finalized in any way.

Man U - 56 points
Liverpool - 54 points
Aston Villa - 51 points
Chelsea - 49 points
Arsenal - 44 points
