Is 1-0 The New Trend For United

I am absolutely exuberent with United's 1-0 win at home against Roma. Rooney who hasn't scored for a long time answered his critics with a sublime goal. All the matches that United have one in the premier league this season have been 1-0 barring the win against Chelsea (2-0). It doesn't stop there, even the two rounds of Champions League saw United win 1-0. I don't care as long as they keep winning.
In other Champions League action, Lyon continued their poor run by getting a hammering at home by Rangers 3-0. Lyon have now conceded 6 goals in their two opening matches. Barcelona were comfortable 2-0 winners away to Stuttgart. Sporting Lisbon beat Dynamo Kiev away 2-1. Moscow drew at home to Fenerbahce 2-2 and Inter beat PSV with nine men 2-0. Sevilla got a 4-2 win at home against Slavia and Arsenal trhanks to a Van Persie goal won away Bucharest.

Real Display Pure Class

Real Madrid put on a show to remember with a 5-0 thrashing of Villareal away from home. Seeing them pass the ball so fluently was a sight to behold and their finishing was impeccable. Raul scored the only goal for the visitors in the first half but thesecond half was all one way traffic. Sneijder got his first of the game through a brilliantly taken free kick and added a second to his name later on. Nistelrooy and Guti completed the rout which took them to the top of the table. Barcelona kept up with them with a 3-1 win at home to Athltic Bilbao with 2 goals from Ronaldinho(one penalty) in a game which saw both sides reduced to 10 men. Else where Juventus left it to the last minute to secure a 3-2 win away from home at Cagliari. Trezeguet, Del Piero and Chiellini netted the goals for the Old Lady. AS Roma were comfortable 3-0 winners at home to Siena.

Nani Inspires United To First Win

The way things were going in the first hour of the game, I thought it would be another disappointing day for a United supporter. Spurs seemed to be dominating a lot of the play and it was thanks to some good defending and a bit of help from the referee that United managed to keep a clean sheet. Nani showed a bit of magic and brilliance with a screamer of a shot that saw the ball fly best a diving Robinson to bring United their first victory. A 1-0 win at home agaisnt spurs. Spurs were unlucky not have been a penalty awarded to them when the ball struck Brown on the left hand on the way to the goal. Keane started the Spurs momentum with a shot on the crossbar just 23 seconds into the game. Deserving or not Manchester United have their first win and the goal by Nani was deserving enough to be a match winner. Elsearound the world, Milan were comfortable 3-0 winners away to Genoa with Kaka scoring twice just before half time. Inter Milan have only themselves to blame for a 1-1 draw at home to Udinese after an injury own goal gave the visitors a point. The much awaited first match of the much fancied Barcelona ended in a tame draw. Racing Santander held on for 30 mins with 10 men at home to Barcelona.

Wins For Big Clubs Around The World

Saturday saw the start of the Spanish La Liga and the Serie A and matches from the Premier League. Liverpool were comfortable winners away at Sunderland with Sissoko and Voronin getting the goals. Chelsea struggled a bit but a goal from Lampard saw them through against Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge. Fabregas scored the lone goal for Arsenal at home against an improved Manchester City. Van Persie had earlier missed a penalty. The Spanish La Liga saw Real Madrid come from a goal down to beat rivals Atletico 2-1. Raul and sneijder were the scorers for Real. UEFA Cup winners Sevilla saw of Getafe 4-1. The Italian League saw the return of 'the old lady', Juventus. The 5-0 drubbing of Livorno show that they are definitely are a force to reckon with this season.Over at the Dutch Eredivisie Ajax, thrashed NEC Nijmegen 5-0 and over in Scotland Celtic humbled Hearts 5-0. An interesting Sunday lies ahead with Manchester United, AC Milan, Inter, Barcelona all ready to play.
