^Tevez set Old Trafford alight against Bremen^

Team Changes: Man United named a strong side for the match against Werder Bremen but it was missing some big names for the team sheet. The young Brazilian, Rafael started at RB ahead of Gary Neville who could only make the bench. Lloris got his second start for United replacing Van Der Sar in goal. Pique also came into the starting line-up at the expense of Rio Ferdinand. Tevez retained his place after scoring the late winner against Inter Milan last week and Berbatov replaced Rooney after he scored late on against Inter too. Also, Park came into the team for Ryan Giggs on the left wing.

The first half was a pretty even one with Werder Bremen having more of the possession but United having more of the chances. Man United did take the lead in the 23rd minute thought when Berbatov came in from the wing with the ball at his feet before laying it back to Tevez and he smashed the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Werder Bremen managed to equalise just before half-time. The ball was crossed in and Ozil climbed above everyone but his header hit the bar. The ball came out to Rafael but he headed it right to Ozil and he headed it into an empty net. Just when I looked like both teams would go into the dressing rooms at 1 goal a piece, Man United got a corner. The ball was whipped into the box by Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov jumped up and headed the ball into the corner giving the keeper no chance. Man United went into half-time very happy to have grabbed that late goal to give them the lead but knew they would have to keep it up if they wanted to retain top spot in their group.

Tevez sealed the win for United in the 69th minute. The ball was played into him in the box and he took it round a defender before driving it low under the keeper to put United 3-1 up with only 20 minutes to go. Tevez kept on trying for his hat-trick and he got it in the 78th minute. It was from a corner again showing that Werder Bremen needs to get a good centre back who can head the ball. The keeper came out to try and catch the ball but got stranded in a crowd of players giving Tevez an easy chance which he happily put the ball into an empty net.

Man United brought off Cristiano Ronaldo and Miguel Veloso for Nani and Owen Hargreaves to give them a run out for the last 10 minutes. Berbatov nearly got another for United late on but his header came down off the bar and onto the post and the keeper managed to grab it and the game finished 4-1 to United. They play Chelsea next. Can United keep up their 100% record or will they finally be stopped?
