Manchester United return to the top of the Table as Liverpool stumble

Manchester United won a last gasp thriller against Bolton to reach the top of the table for the first time this season. Man U were held by a determined Bolton, who a week before had resisted the Arsenal seige until the 87' minute. 

A wrong foot pass by Giggs to a determined Tevez, who broke free and crossed to a free Berbatov. The Bulgarian headed niftily towards the goalkeeper, but the Gk stumbled and Berbatov found his mark.

Meanwhile in the Merseyside Derby, a 72' strike by Gerrard was not enough to give Liverpool the win needed to touch the top of the table. A last minute header from Everton star Cahill off an Arteta freekcick helped the Merseyside team extend their unbeaten streak.

Hi, Fellow Gooner here. Came across your blog whilst I was searching for Arsenal Fans. Will keep an interest in your blog.
Have written a blog myself about the FA Cup game against Cardiff. Would be interesting to see your comments towards it.
