| Rooney Scores On Penalty Kick As Man U Rips West Ham |
Soccer betting enthusiasts who chose to lay the whopping -700 price on Manchester United were enriched with the victory, which came with relative ease. Takeback on West Ham United was +2000, with the draw priced at +600. The three goals scored managed to make it OVER the posted total of 2’. Man U improved to 2-0 at home this season, outscoring their opponents 6-0 at Old Trafford. The 3-0 verdict could have been much more lopsided given Manchester United’s end to end domination of gameplay. Man U held a 21-8 shots advantage, a 7-1 shots on goal advantage and a 60% to 40% time of possession edge. Rooney’s penalty marker in the 33rd minute was the only score of the first half, and sent his team to the dressing room at the break with a 1-0 advantage. Nani quickly made it 2-0 with his goal in the 50th minute, and Dimitar Berbatov capped the scoring 19 minutes later to produce the final 3-0 scoreline. While conceding that his team should have scored more goals, Man U manager Sir Alex Ferguson was generally complementary of the performance: "It was a very, very good performance, our possession of the ball was good and we maybe could have scored more.” "It's always the case when you get the first goal that's what opens the door for you. We had to wait a while but we didn't stop playing our football and we deserved to go in front. It was a terrific goal from Nani and I'm very pleased with the performance." He was also pleased to see Rooney finally get on the score sheet: "The performance was the thing that stood out for me. He enjoyed his football today, he was full of energy which was good because he's not had a lot of football lately with a virus that has meant he has not trained. But he looked much more like himself. "But this was a very good team performance. Everyone wanted the ball, they were looking to pass, looking to move, a good collective performance." Manchester United will play at Everton in their next Premier League action on Saturday, September 11th. They’ll then begin Champions League play at home on Tuesday, September 14th as they host Scottish Premier League side Rangers. West Ham United will return home on September 11th, but the competition won’t get any easier as they welcome Chelsea to Upton Park. They’ll play at Stoke City the following Saturday.
