Fulham 0 Manchester United 3

Fulham 0 Manchester United 3 (Hargreaves 15, Park 44, Davies 72 og)

A routine victory with a non-routine side against relegation bound Fulham meant the gap at the top was reduced to a solitary point. Rooney and Ronaldo were rested and United had such depth of squad that United were still far too good for the London team. Park scores for Manchester United

From the start United played with pace, power and purpose. When United go at teams from the start, they usually win. The big question is why they don’t do it more often, particularly in Europe. On five minutes, Saha was put clear through on goal, but sliced his shot horribly wide. They didn’t let Fulham go when United won a freekick on the edge of the area. In the absence of Ronaldo, Owen Hargreaves struck an excellent curler into the net for his first goal.

From then on it was a cruise and the game ended as a contest when Park put away an excellent header on the stroke of half time. Scholes used his experience and class to make a great run to the byline, pulled back an excellent cross that Park slammed home.

United’s final goal was an unfortunate own goal by Simon Davies. As he was running back to cover, he managed to run onto the ball and kick it into his own net.

Man of the Match

Paul Scholes. Ran the game with excellent passing, and the combination of Scholes and Hargreaves looked good.

    i must say it was interesting watching united teach fulham a footing lesson yesterday, and that was without rooney and ronaldo

    its true that without rooney and ronaldo united are good enough to beat fulham, but could we cope without them for the big games against Chelsea, Arsenal or Milan?
