SPURS AT HOME

22 aug 2011                                      UNITED 3  SPURS 0

Spurs rolled into Old Trafford as Manchester United got their Premier League home
campaign up and running with a deserved 3-0 victory.

Both teams where evenly matched in an open and entertaining first half,marked by a wonderful save from Friedel from a Cleverly effort and some long range shooting by Spurs Dutch midfielder Van Der Vaart.  United finally opened the scoring on 61 mins thanks to a fabulous header by Danny Welbeck
from an exquiste cross by young Tom Cleverly.  It was no contest after that with a new look youthful United team play some truly great stuff as Fergie looked on approvingly.

United where bossing the game now,and it was no suprise when the second goal came courtesy of our brazilian midfielder Anderson in the 76 min.  A great move involving an outrageous back flick from Welbeck,and hammered home by Ando.

Spurs nearly got one back when a Defoe effort crashed of the upright,but never threatened after that.
The third goal came in the 87th min from a Wayne Rooney header after good work from the shagmeister himself Giggs.
All in all a good day at the office;the new players continue to impress,and some of the football was brilliant.

Next sunday at OT will see us host a team called "crisis",managed by someone called "Beleaguered",
Arsenal in other words.cheers!.
