Red Devils crash on historical day

The fateful day in Zurich where many Manchester United players as well as a Man City former player was remembered in Old Trafford stadium here on Super Sunday. A one minute silence along with Manchester United wearing the olden 1958 jersey was done to remember those who perished in the crash.
Manchester United, after dropping points versus Tottenham Hotspurs last week with a 1-1 draw, had to do something magical to compete with leaders Arsenal for the EPL title. Manchester United had started the season in September with a loss against their city rivals, Manchester City. Today, the conditions were different as they were playing in Old Trafford and had the crowd support.
Sir Alex Ferguson chose a very strong squad, complete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Manchester City, after a close loss to Arsenal last week was very spirited and challenging.
Manchester United started the day dominantly, passing the ball well but Manchester City asserted them by the time they took the lead through Darius Vasell, who scored with a second chance after GK Edwin Van Der Sar blocked his first one.
But Tevez nearly equalised to slam a volley from the edge of the box, only for Hart to make a fine save. It was City who scored the next goal, Petrov collecting the ball after Manchester United failed to clear a corner, and passed to Mwaruwari (transferred from Portsmouth) (in 45’) to glance it into goal for 2-0.
Manchester United’s passing was poor, they made too many mistakes and they missed suspended Rooney. At last Manchester United scored at stoppage time with Michael Carrick’s well kicked goal through Hart’s defence. But was there any time for an equaliser??? Fortunately no, as the Red Devils lost 1-2.
City, with skipper Richard Dunne outstanding in defence and Stephen Ireland and Martin Petrov battling it out with Manchester United’s midfield, well deserved the win that has seriously hit United’s hopes of retaining their title.
Arsenal, who defeated Blackburn Rovers, have 63 points from 26 matches and they are 5 points clear of Manchester United, who have 58 from 26.
GO GUNNERS!!!!!!!!
