Another Victory for United and a 6 Point Lead

Solskjaer Goal
Manchester United extended their lead over rivals Chelsea into 6 points as they defeated an optimistic Reading team. At half time the score read 1-1 after Ole Gunner Solskjaer and Sonko scored for Man Utd and Reading respectively. But in the second half Old Trafford saw the different face of Manchester United. They were going for the jugular in search of the win. Ronaldo scored twice, one from a rebound from a Solskjaer effort and another one a from an intelligent and tactical position and excellent placement. Readings were in deep worry as Sam Sodje was sent off for a second yellow card. Sodje played hardly 15 minutes in the pitch after the substitution. But the 10 men Reading then took control and Liroy Lita scored a brilliant goal through the legs of Van der Sar, making mockery of the defener Silvester.

The win means that Manchester United can indeed relax a bit and don't need to worry about Chelsea at their back. They are now 6 point below and Mourinho is not a confident looking man these days. Red Devils are indeed providing the crowd something to cheer for.
