WAZZA SAVES THE BLUSHES FOR UNITED
 |
| Rooney rejoices after slotting home from the spot |
I guess,both sides deserved a point each at White Hart Lane today as United's midfield problems were brought to the forefront yet again.Ryan Giggs was rested after playing a full game in Leverkusen,while Clevz replaced him in the midfield.
Kyle Walker broke the deadlock through a free kick which went from below the wall and slammed into the bottom corner.Spurs looked solid at the back but Walker gave away a lifeline to United some minutes after the opener. He tried laying off a Valencia cross to captain Dawson but Wazza pounced onto the opportunity and slammed the ball into the top corner.The game didn't consist of clear chances but both teams had to strive hard to find the openings. Brazilian Sandro unleashed a rocket which swerved just enough to confuse De Gea,who was rooted to the spot. Just 4 minutes after the rocket was launched Welbeck was taken down by Hugo Lloris in 6 yard box,and earned United a penalty. Wazza,calm and composed hammered the ball straight into the goal,past yellow carded Lloris.

Kagawa, who couldn't express himself in the game was brought off to make way for Ashley Young .Welbeck made way for Chicha while Valencia made way for Nani,who had showed his class in midweek. Spurs were the better side I must say,mostly due to the crowd support at White Hart Lane. United got 1 or 2 half chances but could not convert them ,while Andros Townsend came on and allowed Spurs to widen up the play and to provide some width on the flanks. Spurs got some corners and chances here and there but nobody could take any advantage .

Moyes would be unsatisfied with the performance and a draw indicated a need for a good central midfielder who could have passed the ball with more dexterity and purpose. But Rooney's presence seems to ensure that Rvp's absence is not being felt up front. Rvp ensures better link up play with the Attacking midfielder behind him and he can take advantage of his height during set pieces.
Andy Townsend had remarked before kick off that the loser will be out of the title contention but a draw was well deserved for both sides who looked on equal footing in all aspects of the game..
