WIMBLEDON 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 8
United's march towards the Premiership title continued today after a stunning display at Selhurst Park. Super-Reds United went ahead just before the kick-off when Giggs' through-ball sent the linesman away down the right flank. His cross was handled on the half-way line by a Wimbledon defender, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stepped up to slot the ball home for his 65th penalty of the season, after hitting one of the five United substitutes holding Sullivan down in the Wimbledon goalmouth. It was no more than Utd deserved.
The 15th minute saw the Super Reds go two up after Robbie Earle was penalised for coughing just outside the area. David Beckham's free kick hit the back of Blackwell's boot and the ball bounced up and landed in the referee's hands. A quick throw into the top corner of the Wimbledon net and it was 2 - 0. It was no more than Utd deserved.
The 21st minute saw more trouble for Wimbledon when Thatcher was sent-off for enquiring about the referee's United shirt. However two minutes before the interval Wimbledon struck back after an amazing piece of good fortune. The linesman could only parry Hughes' shot and Gayle thumped home the rebound. After 10 minutes trying to find a reason to disallow it, the referee grudgingly admitted it had to stand. Hard done by Man United could scarcely believe their bad luck and Alex Ferguson threw down his programme and wouldn't talk to anyone for ten minutes. Fortunately, things settled down again once the referee agreed to award United a consolation goal. So 3-1 at half time and no more than United deserved.
Just after the restart, unsportsmanlike Euell was dismissed for making ridiculous claims for a penalty after Roy Keane had severed Neil Ardley's head. The referee missed the incident due to the red scarf flowing in his eyes but replays showed that Keane's use of the chainsaw was clearly unintentional. Ten minutes later Ferguson took off David Beckham and replaced him with five other players; Wonderful, Wonderful Man Utd's fourth came shortly after. John Hartson was caught offside in his own penalty area and Irwin's free-kick bobbled home after hitting the underside of the floodlights. The referee claimed the final touch. It was no more than Utd deserved.
Super-marvel-wonder-Reds' kept the pressure on until the bitter end. In the ninety-eighth minute Alan Kimble conceded a free kick just outside his own area for blatantly glancing at the referee. Giggs stepped up and proceeded to curl the ball just wide of the post. Goal no. 5 and no more than United deserved.
United slotted goal number 6 from the penalty spot after Cort went down with a broken leg. Fortunately Roy Keane was nearby when it happened and he was able to bring the incident to the referee's attention. Unfazed by Cort's cynical tactics, protruding bone and spraying blood, the referee sent him off for diving and awarded Yorke the penalty. Yorke smacked the ball over the crossbar but the referee decided that it should count because, based on past records, Yorke rarely missed.
When the final whistle went, Wimbledon traipsed off with their heads low, having been taught a lesson in the finer arts of football by what is by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. As the losers hit the showers, a superb flowing movement by United culminated with a fine diving header by Sheringham and it was 7-1. However the referee decided it was such a good goal, it should count double. 8-1 then - and no more than Utd deserved.
