Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool: Revenge For Wayne Rooney And Man Utd

Wayne Rooney’s equalizing goal yesterday afternoon at the Old Trafford against Liverpool leveled the score line to 1-1 in the early minutes of the clash, but another goal from Ji-Sung Park later on was the perfect gift to bring down the Reds.

The duel between Manchester United and Liverpool was intense, and this fact was made quite clear right from the referee’s opening whistle.

Spanish star Fernando Torres gave Liverpool the lead after just 5 minutes through a sweet header, but the Red Devils Manchester United just couldn’t waste their time and allow the Reds to impose theirselves at the Theater of Dreams.

As a result of their unmeasurable determination, United obtained a penalty on 7 minutes – and this goes without saying that Wayne Rooney was the executor.

Surprisingly, following a great save from Reina, Rooney failed to place the ball at the back of the net on his first shot, but he succeeded on his second attempt, as he blasted the ball home on the rebound.

Liverpool players were angry and protesting to the referee, explaining that the decision to award the Mancunians a penalty was highly debatable.

In any case, the game continued, and the second half didn’t show less actions from both sides.

Both Manchester United and Liverpool kept pressing on for what would be regarded as the “winner”, and happily for the home side, their dream finally became a reality when the South Korean Park Ji-Sung made an impressive header to put his team in the lead.

It was a brilliant conversion from the Asian star from a Darren Fletcher assist.

The game then ended with no further goals, and thanks to Rooney and Park, Manchester United are now back at the top of the Premier League standings, after being moved to the second place by Arsenal who defeated West Ham 2-0 on Saturday evening.

At the end of the day, one might also consider this huge win by Sir Alex Ferguson’s side as a huge revenge against Liverpool, who conquered the Premier League title holders at Anfield earlier this season.

Consequently, Wayne Rooney can boast of having collected 33 goal in total this season in only 39 games, and his desire to beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s record seems to be more like a reality after every single game.
