Man Utd 4-0 Wigan

The line up as I remembered it..
Kuszczak
Pique - Vidic - Rio - Evra
Ronaldo - Scholes - O'Shea - Giggs
Tevez - Rooney

Subs : Heaton, Simpson, Nani, Eagles, Anderson

Things weren't looking very good even before the match started. Saha injured himself during warm up (supposed to be on the bench) so Eagles replaced him. Then early on in the game Vidic had a head-clash. He went back to play but later on he got out of pitch, saying he had a problem with vision. He wanted to get back in but the medical team said he shouldn't. Came in Anderson, with O'Shea taking the place of right back, pushing Pique to the middle. But it didn't stay like that for long. O'Shea got a dead leg, and was forced out of the game. Simpson replaced him. By that time I was so nervous, that 2 youngsters are in our defense, barely experienced.

The first half wasn't so good. They hang on pretty well, and we didn't really get through so much. The players (I saw Rooney) were pretty frustrated. He was mad since like the 30th minute! Ronaldo was. denied a penalty. The replay showed that he was pushed down.. As I remember it, there was another penalty appeal turned down. I don't remember how it was though..

I wasn't too happy bout the first half. I just hoped that it got better at the 2nd half. And they sure did! Tevez scored an amazing goal at the 54th minute. Turned around 2 defenders and got away from the goalie.

Ronaldo scored 2 after that. 59th and 76th minutes. The first one was Giggs' shot. Keeper blocked it but it fell right to Ronaldo with an empty goal in front of him. That was an easy one. 2nd goal was from Rooney's cross. Ronaldo seemed to leave the defenders behind so he netted it pretty simply.

Rooney's goal was pretty special. Scholes hit it right to overlapping Simpson. He crossed and it was a great cross. Ronaldo jumped but it was over him. Rooney was behind, unmarked, and head it home. Didn't score too many goals with his had, but that one shouldn't be that hard with that kind of cross..

congrats boys! Hope to see more goals in next match
