Rooney fires United into first
Soccer Betting Lines
03/14/2010 -
Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wayne Rooney scored two more goals to
increase his Premier League-leading total to 25 and Manchester United defeated
Fulham 3-0 on Sunday at Old Trafford to reclaim first place.
Arsenal and Chelsea passed United with wins on Saturday, but Rooney scored one
minute after halftime and added his 32 in all competitions in the 84th.
Dimitar Berbatov, who assisted on Rooney's second goal, added his 10th Premier
League goal in the 89th to seal United's 21st win of the season.
"The start to the second half was crucial and we got a good one to put us in a
good position. After that our confidence grew," United coach Sir Alex Ferguson
told MUTV.
Rooney handed United the lead less than one minute into the second half after
a great give-and-go with Nani. Rooney had the ball in the middle and passed to
the left to Nani, who threaded a pass through four Fulham players to get the
ball back to Rooney for an easy finish to the bottom right.
Berbatov set up the second goal after he drove into the area from the right to
slip a pass through three Fulham players to Rooney, who slotted to the left to
beat Mark Schwarzer for the second time.
"The second was the star goal really," Ferguson said. "The work by Berbatov
was fantastic football and he just laid it on a plate for Wayne, who took it
well."
Substitute Ji-Sung Park delivered a cross to Berbatov in the 89th, and he dove
to head the ball inside the right post from five yards for the third goal.
Fulham lost for just the second time in its last seven matches, but still sits
in the top half of the standings in 10th. American Clint Dempsey, who returned
in Thursday's Europa League match, made his first start since suffering a knee
injury earlier this year.
Adam Johnson scored in the 91st minute as Manchester City escaped the Stadium
of Light with a 1-1 draw against Sunderland.
Johnson latched onto a corner kick on the far side of the area in injury time,
and lofted a perfect shot into the upper-left corner.
Kenwyne Jones scored in the ninth minute for Sunderland, and Craig Gordon made
seven saves before Johnson left him no chance in the final seconds.
City is in fifth place, two points behind Tottenham for fourth and a berth in
the Champions League. Sunderland is seven points clear of relegation in 14th.
