Another tough game, in appalling conditions against a team that took all 6 points off United in the league last season. For much of the game, it looked like United where going to have a frustrating evening, not helped by referee Riley's poor officiating.
There were moments when United broke fast with some great one touch passing but these were few and far between. When O'Shea took to the field at half-time, replacing Neville at right back, fans must have feared the worst. However, he has a mostly solid half and it was his cross that Giggs managed to divert into the path of a sprawling Saha to convert, taking him past the half-way mark of last year's total.
Still, having scored more goals than last season, 3 points clear at the top of the table and getting points off one of their bogey teams, things are still looking good. Chelsea's visit at the end of the month is still the fixture that United's title credentials will be judged on.
