Barclays Premier League
Old Trafford, 23 Mar 2008

MANCHESTER UNITED 3
Brown 34, Ronaldo 79, Nani 81

LIVERPOOL 0

This result make me very happy to come to work the next morning because most of my colleagues were Liverpool’s fan… hahahaha..

For sure… nobody would like to go out for a breakfast with me because they know that I will laugh very hard for the result!!!

So thanks to a Portuguese one-two from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani plus a rare Wes Brown goal gave United the perfect Easter gift and destroyed any lingering hopes Liverpool had of breaking into the title race.

After all the pre-match talk of great attacking players on the park, it was ironic that defender Brown delivered the telling first blow on a pivotal afternoon in the Premier League. But the main talking point in the media could be the same one that followed last week’s match between Chelsea and Spurs – the relationship between referees and players.

For Chelsea’s Ashley Cole and ref Mike Riley, read Javier Mascherano and Steve Bennett – but don’t believe the hype that Liverpool’s midfield hardman lost the match as well as his temper. The storm that probably had teacups flying in the away dressing room couldn’t mask the fact United were as superior to Liverpool on the day as they have been this season. And last season, and the season before that…
