Manchester United Wins

All the talk before last evening's match against West Brom Albions concentrated on the absence of many key players to various injuries. There were talks that Manchester United would be a weakened team and there were questions if Manchester United could sustain the challenge for its eleventh Premiership honour.

Manchester United produced one of the best performance this season, beating West Brom Albions 5-0 at the Hawthorns. The main three payers, Berbatov, Tevez and Ronaldo scored; Ronaldo scored his first goals in ten weeks. It also marked the return of Rio Ferdinand after a bout of back injury kept him out of the squad. Some players also played despite being declared injured in the days building up to this match. It was a record-setting victory, as Manchester United now goes eleven matches without conceeding a goal.

Now it's up to Liverpool to keep up the pressure on Manchester United, who now sits at the top of the league, three points and 7 goal difference more than Liverpool. Liverpool will play against Wigan Athletics at the JJB Stadium.

Manchester United's next BPL game will be against Everton, the blue side of Liverpool and probably the real team of Merseyside ;), on Monday, 2 February at Old Trafford.
