Bolton 0 Man United 4

I was rather confident that Arsenal couldn't get all 3 points versus Birmingham because Birmingham has a rather strong home form ( Preview: Birmingham City Vs Arsenal )and I was confident that Chelsea should beat Aston Villa at home. However, I was in awe to see them blast 7 goals past Villa. They looked determined and eager to make right the recent dismal form. They moved the ball around much faster and the hunger in their play was so evident. Then after 56 minutes, Chelsea tore Villa apart. 5 more goals were scored in the last half hour. What an incredible performance and Villa didn't play too bad. If one had watched the first half, Villa were only trailing 2-1 and did not looked like a team that was going to be thrashed 7-1.

Then I saw the line-up Sir Alex put up against Bolton. No Rio, no Rooney, no Park and no Carrick. Berbatov lines up as the lone striker. Scholes, Giiggs and Neville starts.

And Bolton was tough and they hurried United players right from the start. Play was scrappy and very physical and it seriously looked like a very long day.

And that Jack Wilshire was indeed a pest.

Got lucky when our opponents scored for us yet again. Eleven own goals scored for United. Must be one lucky season. Oh yeah, United's second best striker struck once more.

And the save Van de Sar made from Muamba was incredible.

One nil at half time didn't looked mighty unconvincing and not when Bolton looked like they could score but once again United proved themselves to be an extremely strong second half team. Berbatov scored a brace and Darron Dibson added the fourth despite being on late in the match.

Some comments on players.

Fletcher was superb again.

Van de Saar, he's back isn't it? Made couple of great saves.

Vidic. Totally commanding in the air. Best game from him in a long time.

Berbatov. I thought he had a really decent game and I was even surprised with his work rate and hunger for the ball. He's my MOM!



As a whole, this is a great result. And for a 4-0 score line, United didn't really dominate. How could they be when the fact the game was so physical.
