Manchester Derby Classic


Best derby I have ever witnessed, period.

Pulsating action, end to end stuff, two teams playing at the best yet prone to defensive errors that added to the great excitement of a Barclays Premier League derby.

First goal, Man Utd was pure Rooney, grit, determination and immense strength to finish past Shay Given

Second goal Man City, poor poor mistake by Ben Foster, giving Carlos Tevez the chance to poke the ball to Barry to slot home easily.

Third goal Man Utd, Fletcher arrives in the box to head into bottom corner of goal. Excellent cross from Giggs.

Fourth goal, Man City, nothing you can do about this one. Bellamy cuts in and rifles home a stupendous drive into the top corner.

Fifth goal, Man Utd, Fletcher again... arrives in the box to head Giggs's free-kick past Shay Given. Prior to this, Given was excellent to stop three clear goal attempts.

Sixth goal, Man City, boo boo by Rio Ferdinand, outpaced by Bellamy, finished off cooly by the Welshman. 3-3... looks like a draw.

SEVENTH goal, Man Utd, Michael Owen at the death of the game, controls Giggs through ball and slots it past Given for an emphatic last minute winner. Old Trafford erupts in euphoria.

Why do I watch soccer you ask? For moments like these...
