It could have been a cricket score , says Sir Alex Ferguson


A weekend couldn't have been this great without the exciting games that took place over the weekend , but all eyes were on the Red Devils who faced Liverpool in Old Trafford yesterday afternoon . The match started in favour of Man Utd who dominated the 1st 15min that led Liverpool chasing the ball all over , but the strong defense from Carragher and Johnson kept the score sheet even , it was the Bulgurian that broke the deadlock in the dying minutes of the 1st-half and made it 1-0 in favour of Man Utd to break Liverpool's fans heart .
Nani got plenty of making the score unreachable , but couldn't find the net .

It was the same story in the second half with only 8 minutes played , Damitar Babatov made it 2-0 with superb finish and registered his second goal of the match . Liverpool tried to neutralize the game by bringing in a striker David Ngog and Agger , and things started to look better for Hodgson's side when they got the penalty kick as Torres was brought down in the 18yard by John O'shea, and Steven Gerrard converted and made it 2-1 , after that goal Liverpool came back in a game and Man Utd who were starting to panic due to draws they played in their last 3 in the Premiership , gave away the free-kick in a dangerous area. Steven Gerrard never made a mistake as he scored his brace from a long yard free kick .

In the 84th minutes ,again Barbatov made his maker by scoring his hat-trick for the 1st time since 1942 when these two sides met . It was a well deserved win for the Red Devils ,and a questionable statistics for Roy Hodgson .
