Sunderland Outclassed!


There is not much anybody could teach Roy Keane about Football, unless of course it happened to be Sir Alex Ferguson. The score line served to show the chasm between these two sides, and it would be easy to feel sorry for Sunderland, but that is the last thing Keane would want. However, his side are finding the Premiership a bit too hot to handle, and they will have to pull their socks up, if they don't want to be back playing in the Championship next year.


Wayne Rooney opened the scoring after 20 minutes, when he found a large area of uninhabited space, and calmly tapped the ball home. Then he made United's second goal when he delivered the sweetest pass to set up Saha after 30 minutes.


Ronaldo scored an impossible goal, except for him, when after 45 minutes he drove in a free kick. He flighted the ball over the Sunderland wall and it rattled into the left corner of the net, giving the Sunderland keeper no chance. So, United had the game sewn up before the interval, because it would have been completely unrealistic to expect Sunderland to make much of a recovery.


After the interval Sunderland nearly got one back, when Kenwyne Jones almost beat Kuszczak. United had further chances through Nani and Rooney, but to say that they were in the comfort zone would be something of an understatement. Just when it seemed that they were satisfied with their three-goal lead, Nani was brought down in the area; And Saha easily made it four up for United, from the penalty spot.


In what has become an intriguing Christmas, United have come out on top and have overtaken Arsenal, who have played the same number of matches. However, it is to be hoped that they don't indulge in too much partying, until after Saturdays matches have been played! Elsewhere Portsmouth held Arsenal to a goalless draw. Liverpool struggled but beat Derby at the end - the very end! For sheer entertainment it had to be the four all draw between Chelsea and Aston Villa. Eight goals, three red cards, and drama galore. This was Christmas entertainment at its very best.
