Wayne Rooney has scored a goal to bring Manchester United back within one goal, as they now trail West Ham United 2-1 in the second half. United have Mark Noble to thank for the goal, as he’s the man who committed the silly foul that gave Rooney the opportunity to take the direct free kick that he scored on. Still, Rooney was left with a lot of work to do, and his 65th minute free kick was finished brilliantly.
West Ham United Vs. Manchester United: Wayne Rooney Goal Pulls Red Devils Back
The Red Devils have brought Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov into the game for Patrice Evra and Park Ji-Sung, seriously shifting their attack and formation. The moves were aggressive, but probably necessary. The most interesting part of these substitutions was the moving of Ryan Giggs to left back, where he has played well so far.
For the way the game has gone, a draw would probably be a fair result. Man United have been the much better side, but they don’t deserve to completely avoid punishment for their two extremely silly mistakes. Additionally, West Ham have defended fairly well and probably deserve a point.
