^Tevez gave Man Utd a important 2 goal lead^

Man United came into this game with a full strength squad. This was one of the important matches in Man United’s season and needed the best players they had.

It was a nervous start to the game for the Man United fans when Agbonlahor nearly scored for Aston Villa when his header hit the bar in the 7th minute and Petrov couldn’t put away the rebound.

But this didn’t seem to affect Man United too much and they kept on attacking. They got their rewards in the 30th minute when Rooney fired a ball across the face of the goal for Ronaldo to tap into the net.

Man United extended their lead in the 40th minute. Ronaldo played a chipped through ball to Berbatov, he controlled the ball before smashing it past Friedel on the half-volley.

Aston Villa pulled a goal back in the 65th when after a scramble in the box the ball ended up at the feet of Agbonlahor and he fired it past Van Der Sar to make it 2-1.

Man United then brought on Tevez, Nani and Anderson for Rooney, Giggs and Scholes, this turned out to be a very good move indeed. Laursen headed the ball out of the box to Tevez. It didn’t look like there was any danger but Tevez hit a magnificent volley into the bottom corner, out of the reach of the keeper.

Harewood managed to pull another goal back in the 89th minute it just looked like a harmless long ball but Van Der Sar came out to gather it but Harewood got there before him and headed it over him.

In injury time, Tevez restored United’s 2 goal lead when Ronaldo floated a ball over to the back post and Tevez nodded it into the net giving Man United a comfortable lead going into the second leg. Also in the other tie Sporting Lisbon have a 3-1 lead over Juventus.
