Manchester United Win Carling Cup
March 2, 2009
I have been playing too much ‘KILLZONE 2′ but that does not stop me from catching United’s match against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup Final on cable.
Both sides cancelled out each other as Ronaldo’s effort hit the near post when he cut in from the right beating two defenders while Ben Foster saved two shots by Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent in normal time.
It was time for penalties and Foster saved O’Hara’s spot-kick before pressuring Bentley to shoot wide giving Anderson the chance to score the winning penalty.
With that match-winning performance, it is hardly a surprise that the goalkeeper won the man-of-the-match award. A good start for a United member who so long have been patient waiting in the wings of van der Sar and Tomas Kuszczak. I was surprised that Sir Alex Ferguson made the Polish international sit on the bench while the ‘third-choice’ played. The old guy proved me wrong and went on to win the cup.
Who am I to judge? Looking forward to your views!
