De Futebol
Manchester United has done it. The Red Devils defeated Tottenham 3-1 at Old Trafford minus Wayne Rooney. The Rooney man is out at least three weeks said headman Sir Alex.
Rooney has an injured groin.
Ouch, that hurts.
This did not deter Man U. Ryan Giggs nailed two PK’s in the 58th and 85th minutes. Nani nailed a perfect looping shot over the keepers Gomes head in the 81st minute to send the Red Devils to a much needed win.
This squarely puts the pressure on Chelsea to beat Stoke City on Sunday.
Spurs needed this win badly too. But Tottenham could not find the answer after Nani’s goal in the 81st minute.
A great pass by youngster Federico Macheda set up Nani’s goal.
This loss could have cost Tottenham the final berth in the Champions League.
This will all depend on how the match turns out between my guys Arsenal and Manchester City later today.
Man U is now top dog with 79 points.
The Mighty boys from Old Trafford have two matches left.
Oh what a relief it is.
Spurs have a two-point lead over City. This could change after today.
Both City and Spurs have a game in hand. They will play their game in hand against each other on May 5th.
You gotta love it.
It may come down to this match to decide who gets the final Champions League spot.
This was not the result we were looking for. Arsenal and City kissed their sister nil-nil. Both sides had limited chances.
For my perspective, it looked like we were playing not to lose. It was good to see Van Persie back in the lineup.
The Gunners seemed just out of synch. We had a majority of the possessions but Arsenal could not connect.
Real scoring chances were few and far between.
A tie is cool but we need the big “W”.
Van Persie played okay. He needed to get his sea legs.
He’s got em.
I am I happy with the result no but I will take it.
Tottenham can thank their lucky stars that City didn’t pull off the upset win.
Spurs can breath a little bit easier.
Tottenham has 64 points. City is a point back at 63. Villa has 61 points and the Reds have 59 points.
Villa entertains Birmingham and Liverpool battles Burnley on Sunday.
If both sides can win, the race for the final Champions League spot will be a real logjam.
West Ham scored a late goal to lift the Hammers past Wigan 3-2.
The Hammers are six points clear of the drop zone.
Portsmouth is outta here.
Burnley and Hull City looks like they might get their tickets punched as well.
We will see.
Hull City lost to Sunderland 1-0.
I don’t see Burnley pulling off upset city against the Reds.
Stranger things have happened.
