Manchester United - Sunderland goals

Nemanja Vidic proved to be the unlikely hero, on a day when managerless Sunderland looked set to take points of United. His stoppage time goal ensured United kept pace with the top two. Ronaldo got a blow in his hips and had to be taken off, midway in the second half which saw United having more than 85% possession.

Ronaldo scores a century

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the 100th goal of his glittering career at Manchester United as a "five star" United thrashed Stoke City and returned to winning ways in the Premier League. The silver lining for the Champions was the sublime strike of the 17 year old academy graduate Danny Welback. United were without Ferdinand and Rooney but their replacements were too hot for Stoke City whose goalie Sorensen had a miserable day.

Arsenal vs Man utd!!

The match between Arsenal and Man Utd was a treat to watch. The match was so entertaining that I was glued to my sofa witnessing each and every moment of the match.

Both teams started with an attacking mind set and Arsenal were rightly rewarded with a goal scored by French international midfielder Nasri. Before this game I have not watched much of his play but this guy really has what it takes to become a great footballer. The first half ended with Arsenal leading 1-0.

Second half too started with a bang and again Arsenal doubled their advantage thanks to Nasri. From then on Manchester Utd wanted to get back into the match so they started playing more aggressively pressing for a goal. They had to wait till the 90th minuted to score their first goal scored by full back Rafael who replaced Gary Neville.

Arsenal managed to win the match eventually and deservedly so.

Offside

This post is intended for all those who doesnt know what an offside is in football. An offside as flagged when the attacking team member is ahead of the defence line of the opponent team. This offside rule is applicable only when the play is in the attacking half of the particular team. It is the linesmans job to call for offside and the referee in the pitch is not allowed to give offside decisions. It is a very common tactic for all the teams defence department to enforce offside trap to their opponents. Plenty of team coordination and communication is required as if even a single member of the squad fails to connect the offside trap, the team will be in real big trouble.

Milan Derby

There are several intense and very fierce rivalry battles which are called as derby matches that happens across Europe. Some of the most intense and passion filled matches include the Merseyside derby, Manchester derby, Milan derby, Madrid derby, and many more.

Eventhough all matches have the same level of intensity and its almost impossible to predict a winner in these sort of match, I personally feel Milan derby is the pick of the lot. This is mainly because both of these teams are championship contenders unlike the other derbys in which one is a strong team and the other will be an average team.

The most recent Milan derby ended in favour of AC Milan with Ronaldinho scoring the solitary goal that made the difference.

More about the derby matches will be written in my next post.
