UNITED vs SUNDERLAND: This is What Happened.

United 3 Sunderland 1

Sunderland have not won at Old Trafford since the final day of the 1967/68 season and, despite creating chances in the second half, they never truly looked like ending that run as United’s first-half purpose and swagger – albeit lacking a ruthlessness in front of goal – ensured all three points for the Reds.

Robin van Persie, Tom Cleverley and Wayne Rooney got United’s goals to maintain a six-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League, but the Reds will feel that more should have been made of some excellent goalscoring opportunities, while in the second half David De Gea was the busier of the two goalkeepers. Nevertheless, this remains a positive follow-up to last weekend’s win at Manchester City.

United’s control and attacking intent in the first half was impressive to watch. Michael Carrick was supreme in a first 45 minutes in which he dictated the game’s tempo and orchestrated attacks as team-mates buzzed around in front of him. After he was forced off at half-time, United’s drive noticeably waned.

There were two changes to the team that won at City. Chris Smalling stepped in to partner Rio Ferdinand at centre-back in place of the injured Jonny Evans and ahead of Nemanja Vidic, who took up a place on the bench, while Rafael was given only his second league match off this season. Phil Jones took his spot at right-back.

Hawa Ndiyo Real Madrid Waliowafunga Man City Champions League Jana Usiku

Man City wakiwa wanaongo za kwa 2-1 dhidi ya Real Madrid huku zikiwa zimebaki dakika si zaidi  ya tatu walionekana kama ingekuwa ni timu ya tatu ya Uingereza kuifunga Madrid kwenye uwanja wa Bernabeu. Lakini vijana hao wa Mancini badala ya kuinza kampeni yao kwa ushindi walijikuta wakiachwa nyuma na kuwaangalia Madrid wakiibuka na ushindi baada ya Karim Benzema kusawazisha na kisha Cristiano Ronaldo kufunga goli la tatu na la ushindi, goli lililomfanya bosi wao Jose Mourinho kuslide uwanjani akishangilia goli hilo na Ronaldo. This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo kept coming inside him. "In the second-half, Vincent Kompany looked at what was happening and came across to that wing more. Ronaldo did not...
