Football Update: EPL News- Manchester United 5 Birmingham City 0
United were reeling after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 started for United to
mark his 700th appearance for Red Devil’s. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Bentley-c10435, who completed his loan move from Spurs.
It was a perfect start for home team, but a nightmare for Birmingham. Where was their defence? John O'Shea was left completely unmarked on the near post and he flicked on a Ryan Giggs corner into Dimitar Berbatov, who was on hand to head home. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254
goal came after just 95 seconds, as fans barely got into their seats.
It was all United in the early encounters. Dimitar Berbatov forced a fine stop from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282 fired wide. If early signs are to go by, Ben Foster could be
in for a busy afternoon on his return to Old Trafford.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roger-Johnson-c31524 lost the ball in midfield; Wayne Rooney fed into path of Dimitar Berbatov, and he move inside the penalty box before firing home. The Blues could not have made it much easier for their hosts.
It was raining goals at Old Trafford and match was over as a lost as United struck again on stroke of half time. Dimitar Berbatov slid in to win back possession for United, and Wayne Rooney sent over a peach of a low cross between Ben Foster and his Birmingham
defence, which found Ryan Giggs waiting at the back post to turn the ball home. It was three-nil to the host. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 could now boast nine Premier League assists this campaign, three times as many as last season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 moved in from the right and crossed for Wayne Rooney, who headed wide from two yards out. It looked like United can score at will.
Dimitar Berbatov completed his hat-trick in fine style, though, latching on to a Ryan Giggs cross to fire home. He would not score an easier goal than that. That was number four for United. This was Berbatov’s third hat-trick this season, it is first time
this feat such a feat gas been achieved since Ruud van Nistelrooy scored three hat-tricks in 2002-03 season.
Birmingham's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Keith-Fahey-c20526 had the unenvied tag for miss-of-the-day and it is going to take a lot to beat this accolade. Nemanja Vidic's mistake let in David Bentley down the right and his low cross found Fahey running in unmarked and two yards from goal.
To be fair the ball was ever so slightly behind him but how he managed to miss the target from there, only he can tell.
The chances kept on coming for Manchester United. So too, it seemed, did the goals. Nani was wasteful a few minutes prior when he screwed a shot wide but this time he made no mistake with an angled drive past Ben Foster. It was a bit like shooting practice
for the United strikers, and the Blues were taken to the cleaners.
Final Score: Manchester United 5 Birmingham City 0
