Manchester United Vs. Arsenal

Arsenal is on a very good run. Manchester United however had a shaky start but is recovering as the other big rival Chelsea has gone from bad to worse. The match between Arsenal and Manchester was not to the expectation before the second half. Manchester United took the lead through Rooney's superb goal before the half time. The second half as better in all departments in comparison to the first half. The pace of the game became more intense as Arsenal were on the no home loss streak and eventually they kept up the streak. Arsenal had to come from behind twice before the final whistle blew. The goal thirsty Fabregas leveled the score and in the 82nd minute Manchester United took the lead again. Thanks to a great play by Saha and Evra before Ronaldo kicked the ball into the net. When time was running out Arsenal equalized through Galas' goal. The referee did a good job when the ball was cleared beyond the goal line. Van Der Sar had punched the ball from behind the goal line which seemed to have been a clean block but the referee was too good and he gave Arsenal the goal. I too did not notice the goal until I saw the replay. All in all the match was a good one however no winner emerged. Had one of the two teams lost it would have been better. Arsenal still have a game in hand and Arsenal still enjoys the top position in the week's final standing.
