Today looked to be a good day.
With Arsenal 2-0 down all we needed to do was score but with Arsenal pulling back to 2-2 and Jonny Evans being sent off it looked like we would miss the opportunity.
Having sat on the bench for the last few games it looks like Dimitar Berbatov may have just won his place back in the first team as his 88th minute goal secured all 3 points and opened a 5 point gap between us and Arsena who failed to complete the comeback and were held 2-2.
We had threatened and they too had a perfect chance to take the lead when Matt Taylor’s free header was easily gathered by van der Sar and United would go on to take the points when Jussi Jaaskelainen spilled Nani’s shot and Berbatov pounced to tap in.
This goal could be massive in terms of the title race but only in May will we be able to gauge just how important it was.
