Man Utd v MiddlesbroughThe title race has taken a new stance with Manchester United only being able to claim a draw against Middlesbrough cutting the title contender gap to one point. Man Utd drew with Middlesbrough 1-1.
It was a excellent start for Man Utd when Richardson tapped in from a beautiful show of skill by Scholes after 3 minutes. With a goal in the opening minutes it was looking to be a long 90 minutes for Boro. However, Mark Viduka sealed his 10th goal of the season by capitalising on a cross by Downing to head home the equalizer for Middlesbrough before half time. The second half saw Man U pile pressure on the Boro defence which held out strong against each onslaught. In the last minutes Boro were actually denied a penalty when John O’Shea brought down Lee Dong-gook and as such the game slipped away from both teams. The man of the match award went to Emanuel Pogatetz who was excellent in back four.
This result means Man Utd are now needing to win every match until the end of the season to claim the title in the Premier League. They cannot afford another slip up especially with such a high price resting on the away game to Chelsea.
