He's Back With a Bang
^Rooney secured all 3 points with a 90' strike^
Man Utd went into to this match after just being knocked out of the Carling Cup 1/2 final by Everton and needing a confindence boost to get their title challenge back on track. Man Utd went in to this match without Ronaldo and Berbatov who were rested but welcomed back Wayne Rooney who had been out of action for 3 weeks with an injury.
Man Utd were given an early scare though, with only 7 minutes on the clock Davies was given room to shoot and his shot hit the post before being cleared off the line by Micheal Carrick. This was really the only chance Bolton had in the whole match.
With 22 minutes gone Tevez received the ball and turned his marker superbley to get one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He ran to the edge of the box and smashed the ball across the keeper into the far bottom corner for the opening goal.
Man Utd were clearly the best team in the first half but in the last minute Vidic slid in for a tackle but got only the man and he was given his second yellow of the match and United were down to 10 men. Sir Alex didn't take off one of his strikers instead he tucked Neville into centre-back and this worked a treat.
The second half was alot like the first with Man Utd pressing and pressing only to be denied by Al-Habsi. But in the 83' minute diaster struck the ball was played back to Van Der Sar but he messed up his kick and it fell to Davies who slotted it into an empty net. Just when it looked like Man Utd were going to drop more points. Tevez dribbled up to the edge of the box but he was tackled. It fell nicely for Rooney who absoutley leathered it into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
Can Man Utd take this result and build on it in their next match against QPR?
