Manchester United 4 - 0 Aston Villa

It is inevitable that Cristiano Ronaldo is being compared with the late, great, George Best. George was perhaps fortunate in having a surname that reflected his talent on the football field. Cristiano is continuously demonstrating why, in many people's eyes, he is currently the best footballer in the world.

This was a game in which the Portuguese genius was able to demonstrate his outstanding ability. After 17 minutes, a Ryan Giggs corner was chested down, by Rio Ferdinand, towards Ronaldo. In a moment of sheer magic he flicked the ball between the legs of Laursen, and onward into the goal. Such a goal would not have been out of place at Hogwarts School of Wizardry, but Harry Potter and his mates are only trainee wizards, whereas Ronaldo is the complete article. United's second goal after 33 minutes was an easy header for Tevez, after the impeccable Ronaldo turned from scorer, to provider.

Shortly after the interval Rooney should have wrapped it up for United, but his shot was pulled wide. Maloney wasted a good chance at the other end, before the Portuguese maestro set up Rooney, who competently beat Carson to score his side's third. Kuszczak had to save from Maloney, but it was only a temporary diversion in a game that was only going to end one way.

Hargreaves came on as a substitute, and soon got involved in the auction, but Tevez headed wide from an accurate pass. However, United were not finished with their onslaught and continued to delight their fans. A touch more Ronaldo magic set up Rooney, who slotted the ball home for his second goal in the 70th minute. He nearly got his hat trick but his third goal was rightly ruled offside, but as ever he made a fine contribution to his teams performance.

Aston Villa boss, Martin O' Neill, who is as respected as any in the game, agreed that they were up against splendid opposition. It was a great show, put on by an all-star team at the top of their game, with that added touch of sorcery!
