Man United win 3 crucial points on the back of a great comeback

Match winner: Berba scores his second and seals all the points

   Manchester United played Blackpool today in a game which everyone thought Man United would win without a doubt. But Man Utd. were made worl hard for earning their points against a hard working Blackpool. This game must have been one of the best games of the season.

   Craig Catchart who was an ex united player had a sweet comeback as he scored a goal in the 14th minute from a cross by Charlie Adam and scoring a header. In that instance Patrice Evra should have gone back to the post but couldn't return on time as he was receiving treatment and thus Cathcart escaped his marker Berbatov and scored. It was a dream start for the tangerines. No one would have expected them to take a lead. Manchester United didn't defend well. Charlie Adam was at the heart of all the moves made by Blackpool. He justified why his manager doesn't want him to go for a cheap price. Man Utd tried to raise the tempo of the game but in the 25th minute Blackpool almost doubled their lead. Adam delivered a teasing cross which Vidic had almost put back to his own net. But the ball went to Van Der Sar. Man Utd were woeful in the 1st half. Blackpool scored their second goal in the 44th minute. Charlie Adam again being the provider and DJ Campbell scoring the goal via header. The 1st half was a dream half for the home team but a nightmare for Man Utd.

   Second half also didn't start well for the visitors. Man United almost got a penalty against their name when Rafel seemed to have hastily challenged Luke Varney. But the referee didn't award a penalty much to the delight of Man United supporters.  Javier Hernandez was brought in on place of Rooney in the 67th minute because of the super sub reputation he has got. Bringing him seemed to be a great decision as the momentum shifted towards the away team. Manchester United started dominating the game. Nani passed delightful ball on to Fletcher who then passed a through ball to Berbatov and the no.9 pounced on the opportunity and scored the goal on the 72nd minuted. Chicharito was once again the super sub who completed a comeback for Man Utd. He beat the offside trap as Giggs passed a ball to him and scored the goal in the 74th minute.

   Man United still had a goal up their sleeves and Berba scored in the 88th minuted. It was an enthralling encounter and the visitors got all three points at the end and continued their unbeaten run this season thanks to a brace from Berba and a goal from Chicharito. And now Man Utd have a 5 points lead at the top of the table. GGMU!!!!
