Rooney hits 2 past Villa as United win 4-1
Filed Under Man Utd
Rooney scored 2 goals and had a penalty saved as Man Utd eased past Villa. Gabriel Agbonlahor scored early on with a header and this really set Utd going. They could have had at least 8 goals in a game that saw Nigel Reo-Coker and Scott Carson sent of within 6 minutes of each other after the hour mark.
Ronaldo who was rested after the International break came on for Giggs at 76 minutes.
Taylor who was subbed on to replaced the sent-off Scott Carson, made a series of exellent saves to save further embarrassment for Villa. He also denied Rooney his hattrick within seconds of coming on, saving the penalty that Carson gave away by bringing down Tevez.
It was a game where youngsters Nani and Anderson flourished. Utds 2 other goals came from a deflected Giggs sho, plus an own goal by Craig Gardner.
