Manchester United crush Arsenal for ticket to Rome!
What can I say about this match. It is wonderful result but the red card for Fletcher is a hiccup. Leading 2-0 in halftime then 3-0 with Ronaldo brace… Manutd made Arsenal crying early. Hahahaha..
Let see who will face United in the final. Chelsea or Barcelona??? If Chelsea…United will easily defend Champions League title this season. But if it is Barcelona… United will have a really tough job to do.
Manchester United booked their place in the UEFA Champions League final with a 3-1 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Much of the damage was done inside the opening 11 minutes as United, leading 1-0 from the first leg, scored early goals through Park Ji-sung and Cristiano Ronaldo.
United knew that scoring one goal would leave Arsenal needing three and it took just eight minutes for them to break the deadlock, Park capitalising on a slip from Kieran Gibbs to fire home Ronaldo’s cut-back.
Ronaldo then silenced the home crowd and effectively killed off the contest three minutes later with a ferocious free-kick from distance that beat a despairing Manuel Almunia.
The defending European champions remained in complete control and Ronaldo made it 3-0 on the night in the 61st minute following a lightning-quick counter-attack involving Park and Wayne Rooney.
There was some disappointment for United when Darren Fletcher was shown a straight red card on 75 minutes despite appearing to have won the ball from Cesc Fabregas with a fair tackle.
A penalty was awarded and Robin van Persie converted his chance emphatically, but there was never any chance of a fightback and United held on to claim a 4-1 aggregate success.
