United vs Liverpool (match report)
Manchester United went back to the top of the Premiership with a 2-0 win against arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. Paul Scholes - on his 500th appearance for United - and Rio Ferdinand delivered the killer blows as Sir Alex Ferguson's side went above Chelsea on goal difference.
Liverpool, however, are now 11 points behind United, a gap that will almost certainly be too much for even Rafa Benitez's side to claw back.
And Scholes' virtuoso performance will have only increased the frustration for England coach Steve MacClaren who has tried, and failed, to tempt the midfielder out of his self-imposed international exile.
But it now looks set to be another three-horse race for the league title with Liverpool's defeat - their fourth of the season - certain to be terminal.
Despite a promising start to their Champions League campaign, the Premiership has proven a struggle so far for Benitez. Dropped points against Sheffield United, Blackburn and Bolton - and a miserable, humiliating defeat to bitter rivals Everton - meant that victory at Old Trafford was imperative, although the cautious Benitez is reluctant to ever be forced into such a rash suggestion that the title race would have been over in the event of a defeat.
But his players must surely have been acutely aware of the potential damage of failing to win, with John Arne Riise setting the tone for a traditionally tense encounter by sending an ambitious 55-yard lob just narrowly over Edwin van der Sar.
With England international Steven Gerrard still stuck on the right of midfield, Liverpool's approach work was again slow and predictable, though United - with Wayne Rooney still displaying signs of apprehension and rustiness - were hardly superior.
Therefore the goal, ten minutes before the break, broke the tedium of what had been a midfield battle.
Scholes yesterday joined Ferguson's two other homegrown stars in Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville in breaking the 500-game barrier so it was fitting that his achievement should result in such an important goal.
Momo Sissoko's poor defensive header was punished as Giggs slid an inviting cross towards Scholes and despite both Jose Reina and Sami Hyypia's efforts the ball eventually squirmed over the line.
Louis Saha came agonisingly close to surely killing off the match minutes after when he drove a powerful shot from 25 yards that required a full-length stop from Reina.
Saha and Scholes both tried their luck from distance before, just after the hour, Ferdinand unleashed an exquisite second. Giggs' cross was messily hacked clear by Jamie Carragher to Ferdinand who displayed the touch of a seasoned striker to bamboozle Riise and curl a fierce shot into the corner.
And there was to be no snarls of defiance from Liverpool as time ticked away - both on the game and surely their hopes of finally securing a league title again.
