Diouf Marked His Home Debut With Goal.


United 3-0 Burnley
It's great to see Liverpool dropped another points though they are not title chalenging anymore. My beloved Selangor also won 3rd consecutive league matches. So it's no better mood to enjoy United's game.

United: Van Der Sar, Neville (C), Brown, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney

The line up looked decent and strong, suprisingly Nani was included.

1st Half: the first 15 minutes, we looked strong and confidence. Valencia continuously threatening right side but no clearly cut chances arrived. Burnley looked dangerous on break and got one great chance to upset the home crowds. Only one Nani effort looked troubling Burnley's keeper. Berbatov took a knock make him more passive than usual. 0-0 looked disappointing, but fair outcome.

2nd Half: Scholes and Neville seem have enduring little injury problem. At the hour point, i really want to see Rafael come in for Neville cause the captain seem awkwardly slow and no offered much support to right winger. The breakthrough came through Berbatov, resulting from a good Rooney's through ball. The 2nd came few minutes later. Rooney capitalized keepers rebound from Berbatov's effort. The game looked set and Fergie decided to give a break for Rooney, Berbatov and Carrick. Owen, Diouf and Anderson came in the fray for the trio. Then, the contest looked faded though the visitor almost steal consolation goal. Diouf made the scoreline more convincing in injury time. Good timing run released him for clear 1-on-1 and quick thinking header gone in to concluded his perfect home debut.

The result are great but 7-2 Chelsea's win spoiled the mood. Afterall, the race still alive and kicking.
