man utd 1-1 newcastle

Very Unlucky Day For Man Utd

                  Man Utd drew 1-1 with Newcastle in Old Trafford leaving ourselves 4 points behimd Man City, who will face Liverpool on Sunday.

                  The most important factor or highlight of the game was the controversial decision of the referees in the second half rewarding Newcastle a penalty for a very much clean challenge by Ferdinand on Ben Arfa in the 62nd minute.

                                    United, especially Hernandez had a lot of chances in the first half , but he failed to finish. But in the 49th minute, we got a freekick just outside the box. Rooney took the kick. Ball hit the wall and the rebound was sent again towards goal first time by Rooney itself. After a pair of lucky deflections the ball went past the Dutch goalkeeper, Krul into the goal. Last deflection came from Hernandez who was again in the right place at the right time. This was the only time in the match, Krul was seen helpless in dealing with a shot on target.

                  Krul was unbelievable in the goal for Newcastle. I have to admit that. Otherwise we could have won with a big margin.
                  The controversial penalty was taken by Demba Ba who sent De Gea the wrong way. It was in the 63rd minute.Guitiarez was sent off in the 79th minute, but even that didnt help us. Very unlucky day indeed for us.

                   But we can have some relief that two of our stars are back.......Gibson & Macheda

                         Man City can go 7 points clear at the top if they win against Liverpool. Hopefully it wont happen and we can keep Man City within our grabs itself.
