The long-awaited clean sheet came in a match-up against 6th place West Bromwich Albion. Old Trafford saw 90 minutes of what Ian Darke described as "an armchair ride for Manchester United". With Shinji Kagawa back in the lineup, United had some extra flair in their attack. The Reds dominated the first half, pushing around a helpless-looking West Brom. A great combination by Kagawa and Ashley Young let United...
If there's anything we learned this season, it's that the teams in the middle of the table will provide a good enough challenge for front-runners such as the two Manchester teams and Chelsea. Having previously beaten Manchester City and Arsenal, Michael Laudrup's team have shown no mercy on the pitch. Today's game had the Swans playing on familiar turf, a home field advantage that was most effective against...

GoalChatter Special Report: An Evening With Dynamo Kiev
8:44 PM
Groups of supporters, a politician, and a TV station all piled in to an auditorium in Brooklyn. It wasn't a political debate or a charity auction. The popular Russian radio station Davidzon Radio had run an ad about an event in honor of FC Dynamo Kiev's 85th anniversary. There was no information online or elsewhere, and the venue was still completely packed. Veteran Dynamo fans were easily recognizable...
Wayne Rooney proved it's never too late to score. Another loss for Martin O'Neill's team was another win for Sir Alex, prolonging the 6-point gap between the Reds and Manchester City. The Black Cats conceded three goals in their home game against Reading, and now another three at Old Trafford. The first half was a nightmare for the guests as United kept the ball rolling towards Simon Mignolet's...
United's win over their local rivals came as sweet revenge. Only last fall, Manchester City trounced the Red Devils in a 6:1 defeat for Sir Alex's side, their worst loss at Old Trafford since 1955. Not only that, but City won the title on goal difference. The team hasn't lost a home game for 2 years, and this season, it hasn't lost a single match, vying for the...
LA came back from a 1-goal deficit in a more-than-satisfying repeat of last season's Cup win. The back-to-back Champions played beautifully, despite conceding right before halftime. The Galaxy had plenty of opportunities that were sadly wasted by the likes of Donovan and Juninho. Moreover, the hosts had clear control of the ball and were looking strong. Houston's Sarkodie had a fantastic run on the right and an immediate...
Wayne is the Man: He scores, he assists. It's easy to sound like a broken record when calling Manchester United the "comeback kings". This season, Sir Alex's team has been synonymous with conceding first and going on to equalize and win, having played 6 games in this fashion. Today's game was no different. United started off strong, but let Robson-Kanu open the score for Reading early on with...
