1 down, 2 to go!

Manchester United need all wins in their last 3 matches, to be able to complete a prestigious double. This morning they have won 1 of those 3. Manchester United 4-1 West Ham United. I didn't watch the match myself but the scoreline shows how our champions mentality and confidence will give us the Premier League trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 40th goal of the season, 30 of those in the league. He scored twice in the 3rd and 24th minute. Tevez who scored at the same stage last season, but with a different team, put United 3-0 up at the 26th minute with a wonderful strike. West Ham was able to pull one back just 2 minutes after, and it got pretty nervy when Nani was sent of for head-butting the opponent (and theatrically rolled on the ground acting hurt). Sir Alex Ferguson pulled Ronaldo to the wing to fill up the space and played a 4-4-1 formation with Tevez as the lone striker.

United played the 2nd half trying to maintain possession because of the one man disadvantage. Amazingly they were able to get another goal. Another ex-West Ham player, Michael Carrick, closed the scoring at the 59th minute. Poor defending by West Ham, Carrick took advantage with a deflected shot.

After the match Sir Alex gave a speech thanking the players, the staff, and of course the fans. It is the last home game of the season and the fans have been incredible (especially during the Barca match) so they deserve it. They also did a lap of honor at the end, which according to the gaffer is a little bit weird because they haven't won anything yet.

Next Sunday's game against Wigan will clinch the title. Or if Chelsea loses on Monday, with our (way) superior goal difference we're champions.

United line up:
Van der Sar; Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Brown, Evra; Nani (38'), Carrick, Scholes (O'Shea 73'), Park (Giggs 61'); Ronaldo (Fletcher 64'), Tevez.
