Easy for Ronaldo & Co.!


In the first half it was too easy for Manchester United, as they were almost embarrassingly dominant.


It was Rio Ferdinand who struck the first blow for United, after only 10 minutes. Giggs sent in a free kick, with pinpoint accuracy, and the defender again proved his worth, as a goal scorer from set pieces.


There was come smart work from Ronaldo, who slotted the ball through to Wes Brown. He passed it on to Rooney, who only had to tap it home for the easiest of goals, to put the visitors two up.


It looked as though a sub standard Kiev side would be overrun, and perhaps they should have been, but Diogo Rincon got one back in the 33rd minute. It was all in vain though, because maestro Giggs, delivered another perfect ball to Ronaldo, who easily beat the Kiev keeper. The Portuguese striker is in scintillating form at the moment.


Kiev came out more determined in the second half, and put United under a bit of pressure. First Correa, and then Rincon, who was Kiev's best player, went close, but then it all went pear shaped. A Tevez cross was handled by Gavrancie, and at first the referee gave a free kick, but after fuller consultation with a line ref, he pointed to the penalty spot. Ronaldo calmly took the penalty kick, and beat Shovkovskiy easily. Kiev were a bit unlucky, because it didn't seem as though their man handled deliberately.


Bangouro bagged a goal in the 78th minute, to make the score line a little more respectable. Although United outclassed their opponents, they missed several other chances. They are cruising at the top of their group, but they will need to do even better when they qualify for the knockout stage, which now seems just a formality, as they play Kiev again, at home!


Meanwhile, at the Emirates Stadium something of a goal blitz was happening.


Arsenal 7 - 0 Slavia Prague


With a superb display of goal scoring Arsenal bagged a magnificent seven.


Fabregas got two, Walcott got two, and Hleb and Bendtner got one each. Then, for good measure there was an own goal by Hubacek.


So the 60,000 fans at the Emirates got a real treat, except for those supporting Slavia Prague! Arsene Wenger's young side are a joy to watch with all the 'Gunners' finding their targets.


Theo Walcott scored his first goals at the Emirates, and both he and Fabregas were pretty slick. But the whole team were great, so it's perhaps a bit unfair to single anybody out. Keep it going you guys - That's Entertainment!
