Man United Beats Porstmouth

Manchester United played against Porstmouth yesterday. And the result was (drum rolls) MU won 4-1. It certainly made my day. The 1st piece of good news for the day. That's what I call a good head start. =)

Anyway, Rooney scored a hat-trick with a huge thanks to 2 of his successful penalty taken. Giggs had his name on the scoresheet too. With the win, MU are now 2nd in the standings, 2 points behind Chelsea who has 33 points.

Nevertheless, in the 1st half, Porstmouth were the better team. The 1st goal, however, was scored by Rooney. MU was awarded a penalty when Michael Brown brought down Wayne Rooney. And Rooney nicely netted it into the goal. Porstmouth then pulled 1 back when they were awarded a penalty. This time, it was a debatable penalty. Apparently, Frederic Piquionne had had his shirt pulled. Thus, Kevin Prince Boateng had his name on the scoresheet.

The 2nd half was much more livelier. There was a nice play by Giggs and he eventally set up Rooney. And Rooney fired it into the net to score his 2nd goal. Rooney scored a hat-trick as MU was awarded another penalty after Giggs was brought down in the 54th minute. It was the third penalty for the night and Rooney's third goal. Giggs then rounded it off with a late free kick to have the score finalised 4-1 in favour of MU. To top it all, it was Giggs' 100th Premier League goal.

Hopefully, MU will continue to ride in this momentum of winning.
