Manchester United’s Masterful Win

The Red Devils have inched closer to the English Premier League crown with a masterful 5-2 win over the Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford last Saturday.

There was pressure early on as Liverpool eased into the lead of the leader board on goal difference due to their win against Hull earlier in the day. And the lacklustre performance of Manchester United in their own match against the Spurs seem to let their title chances slip away. But the substitution of Carlos Tevez made all the difference as all the goals of the team were set up or passed through the Argentine’s sterling play.

Well, that was in the first half as in the second half showed the will of champions in front of their home crowd as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals apiece in a span of fifteen minutes which sealed the win with a penalty kick slotted by Cristiano Ronaldo finalized the score to the jubilation of the more than 75,000 Manchester United fans on hand.

The Formula for Success for Manchester United

At the current standings, the English Premiere League crown is Manchester United’s to lose as they have been in the top spot of the standings for nearly a quarter of the year and are on course for a third straight crown.

There is still work to be done as they still have matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal together with their campaign in the Champions League. Also, the string of injuries has certainly put a cloud on their quest for glory. But despite all these, under the sterling helmsmanship of Sir Alex Ferguson, there has been a willingness for the team to win, as he still has a three point lead with a game in hand that translates to a lead that is hard for Liverpool and Chelsea to catch up to.

They have an impressive record at Old Trafford which is 43 points and that is more than half the league title. They have Edwin van der Sar’s string of 14 straight no goal games which is a clear dominance over the league which gains respect for the league and the greatness of the would be champions.

 

Serbia’s Lazovic to be a Spur in Time

Darko Lazovic returns to Serbia after a week’s training with Premier League Side Tottenham Hotspur. He is currently being touted as Serbia’s latest football prospect and hopes to one day lace up his boots for the famed English club. 

Both the Spurs and Lazovic were pleased at how the training camp went and it is believed that it would only be a matter of time before the club formally makes an offer for the services of the eighteen year old striker. He is currently signed with Serbian side Borac Cacak and is now being eyed by national mentor Radomir Antic to be caped for the Serbian team. 

On the side of both parties is time for improvement and achievement. Lazovic can return to his homeland and play for the teams who seek his expertise. On the other hand, Tottenham can make room for the striker in its roster and await the development of the forward as he plays under their watchful eye. In the end, both player and side would prosper, as the proper timing is essential for the eventual transfer from second tier competition to Premier League matches.

Manchester United 2 – 1 Tottenham Hotspur

The Red Devils got through into the FA Cup 5th Round by beating Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. It was a tight clash for Tottenham who will also meet the Devils in the Carling Cup Final.

It was a superb goal by Berbatov who rapped up things for his side but it started with a Pavlyuchenko header in the fifth minute of the game putting the Spurs ahead. It was followed by an equalizer from Paul Scholes who struck the goal from a distance. Despite of the fact that United was playing a young side for the match the Spurs failed to win who were paying with a much stronger side. Carrick was apparently brilliant yesterday with his passes. I am sure the Spurs fans couldn’t digest Berbatov’s goal but that is part of the game.

The Spurs are already lagging in the Premiership table and the Carling and FA are two silverwares they are playing for this year but now it has just come down to the Carling Cup for them.
