Some will say a draw is not bad. But we are now two points behind Chelscum, who were the only club to score a perfect six points in the first two matches of the season. They also have a goal differential of 12. Now granted they played two powder puffs in the league, while United had to play Newcastle (who won their match today 6-0 against Aston Villa), and Fulham away. We'll say how well the Blues do when they have to play a real team.
Scholesy's goal today in the 10' was a rocket! It was not only an incendiary missile, but also his 150th Prem League goal!
The Cottagers equalized in the 56' with a well-struck ball by Simon Davies, who converted from a cross by Damien Duff. Van der Sar got a hand on it but it was not enough to keep it out.
Our second goal in the 81' was actually an own goal by Brede Hangeland, who turned to knock a ball out of the box after a cross by Nani, but knocked it in instead.
Nani had a chance to put the game away when a penalty was called minutes later for a handball in the box. He stepped up, and it was palmed away. This was a massive blow for us and Sir Alex will certainly not be happy.
Hangeland had a chance to redeem himself and did in the 90' when he headed in a ball. Again, Van der Sar caught a hand on it and just missed keeping it out.
No need to panic though. There are still 36 more games until we hoist the Barclay's Trophy again!!!
BOOOOOOM!
150, Baby!!!
Scholes and Owen congratulate Nani on his corner that caused the own goal.
Missed penalty, missed points
