English Premiership
Manchester United surge to the top while Chlsea stubble... big time...
Manchester United make their way to the top of the premiership with a convicing 3-0 victory over Charlton at the valley. Although without Scholes and Rooney. The United side showed that they can still imulate their goalscoring feet at Fulham as they smash 3 past sorry addicks. Fletcher's magnificant first goal showed that he has calm composure when he tricked the defenders with two sidesteps before smashing it past Scott Carson.
Louis Saha added a second with another trick. After receiving the ball, he feigned a past to Ronaldo which dfprced two defenders to move away only for him, with all the space, to slide the ball pass Carson. Michael Carrick offically debut for United and nearly provided Solskjaer his return goal but Carson pulled of a fantastic stop. The old guard would not be denied however, as Saha's low and hard cross found Solkjaer unmarked in the far post and he slots home low into an empty net.
United have more to be happy about with Chelsea slipping to a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough at the riverside. Despite an early Shevchenko goal, Chelsea seccummed to Southgates tactics of holding Mark Viduka as a sub. After Pogetez scored the equalisr\er, he unleashed a fresh aussie to destroy Chelsea's early title ambitions.
