Man Utd (1) 4 Blackburn (0) 0 A PASSION play was predicted at the Theatre of Dreams yesterday. Instead Manchester United staged a variety show. Brimming with versatility, pace and commitment, Alex Ferguson's players swept aside Blackburn Rovers, who were two goals adrift even before Chris Sutton's dismissal. Everything came in pairs. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer struck twice, then Sutton made that long and lonely walk for a brace of bookable offences, before two own goals, from Stephane Henchoz and Jeff Kenna, had Old Trafford awash with songs of praise and defiance. Three points clear of second-placed Chelsea, United's Premiership lead is deceptively slim; in reality, a gulf in class exists. Their fluidity was thrillingly in evidence, the players' willingness to fill varying tasks impressive throughout. Solskjaer, lurking on the left as an inside-forward, still scored in classic centre-forward fashion, charging through to beat the goalkeeper as United's November goal collection rose to 23. United are in a class of their own. Their style is not Total Football, as made famous by those marvellously fluid Dutch sides. It is an English version, of technically talented players prepared to take on any responsibility. It is Gary or Philip Neville marauding down the flanks, yet remaining alert defensively. It is David Beckham and Ryan Giggs flanking Nicky Butt in central midfield and then, on Butt's departure, performing the holding duties themselves. What a spectacle this provided. Two of the country's finest footballers, such noted sources of creativity, were battling for the ball like latter- day Robsons. Their appetite for action, their refusal to allow Rovers to settle in possession, was awesome. Beckham harried and carried, giving Gary Croft constant problems on the right while also powering his way around the middle, bristling with determination to thwart Garry Flitcroft, Tim Sherwood and Billy McKinlay. And Beckham's passing, notably the arrowed cross-field delivery, matched his work-rate. Giggs, too, was hunger personified; occasionally careless, the Welshman made up for any concession of possession by sweating ceaselessly until atonement arrived. This blend of appetite and ability sets Ferguson's serial winners apart. Many managers can send out players who possess commitment and skill. But only Ferguson knows all his team will offer up such qualities as a starting point - and then push themselves a stage further. Such drive flows from the manager. Ferguson's recruiting, his nurturing of young talent, has allowed him to build a squad of accomplished players, so Solskjaer could replace the suspended Paul Scholes. Roy Keane is on the treadmill, Eric Cantona is treading the boards but the big red machine keeps rolling on, now over foreign fields too. Blackburn, we thought, might provide a test. Cleverly prepared this season by Roy Hodgson, with fitness and confidence at a high, Rovers were made to look distinct also-rans, not the decent side they really are. What should really have alarmed United's rivals was the sight of Beckham and Giggs, Cole and Solskjaer running around like athletes in the final minute while Tore Pedersen was riven with cramp. Few would have lived with United yesterday but tactically Blackburn made it hard for themselves. With Sutton on the field, the visitors enjoyed a focus but no support. Without him, but with Kevin Gallacher and Lars Bohinen introduced, Rovers had support but no focus. The heart went out to Sutton, a lone front-runner in desperate need of company. Closely marked by Henning Berg, his old team-mate, Sutton had little support from the referee early on, Alan Wilkie clearly deciding that Sutton was more guilty of backing in than being barged into. And so Sutton's frustration grew. Even when he won the aerial battles, sending the ball flying on in a neat para- bola, there was no one to exploit his work. Committed to their 4-5-1 strategy, not even Blackburn's wingers ventured too far forward. Those who deploy caution against United invariably falter. The champions have so many attacking options, from dead-ball to high-speed, from collective to individual, that the best form of defence against them is really attack, not gung-ho but high-tempo up the park. Peter Schmeichel was not threatened until the hour-mark. As Sutton languished, like a boat caught out by low tide, United began to pick holes in Rovers' rearguard. Cole headed wide before a pass from Teddy Sheringham, brilliant in inception and execution, released Solskjaer down the inside-left channel, where he outstripped Kenna before shooting in. As the minutes grew in number, so did the temperature. Butt went in crudely on Sherwood. Sutton then clattered Berg with a nasty lunge. Such ill-will was also voiced by the rival fans. "One-season wonders," sang the home hordes. "Did you cry at Upton Park?" came the quick-fire response, alluding to the way in which they pipped United to the 1994-95 championship. United's players were letting their feet do the talking. After 53 minutes Sheringham's headed flick played Solskjaer through and the Norwegian finished in emphatic style. When Sutton went in high on Butt, so ensuring he was alone in the dressing-room, as he had been on the pitch, more goals were inevitable. Bizarrely, Blackburn scored both. Philip Neville's hard drive from the left was turned in by Henchoz, under pressure from Cole. Schmeichel then blocked from Gallacher but the last word was inevitably United's, Brian McClair's centre being turned in by Kenna. __________________________________________________________ Man Utd (1) 4 Blackburn (0) 0 Solskjaer 18, 53, Henchoz 60 og, Kenna 85 og.

The victory sent league leaders United three points clear of Chelsea with 34 points to 31. Blackburn, previously unbeaten away this season, are third on 30 points. "We will have to learn once again to suck on the bitter pill of defeat," said their manager Roy Hodgson. "It's been a huge defeat." Blackburn had not won in the league at Old Trafford in more than 30 years and any hopes they harboured died when their lone striker and top scorer Sutton was sent off in the 57th minute for his second booking of a hard-fought clash. By then United were already 2-0 up after Solskjaer, in for the suspended Paul Scholes, had scored in the 17th and 52nd minutes. The double made it five goals in five starts for the Norwegian, United's top scorer last season, who was injured at the start of the season and then left out of the team. He linked with England's Teddy Sheringham for the first, playing a neat one-two before chesting down and lashing in a crashing left-footed shot past Tim Flowers. His second was a perfect example of straightforward attacking, a long ball down the middle finding Sheringham who again passed to Solskjaer to finish off the job with a confident strike. Earlier Andy Cole had the ball in the net in the 31st minute after a cross from Solskjaer but was ruled offside. Sutton had been booked in the 34th for a late tackle and picked up the red card for another on Nicky Butt. United Manager Alex Ferguson, whose team is unbeaten at Old Trafford and on a high after this week qualifying for the quarter-finals of the European Cup, praised the Norwegian but was quick to play down the significance of the crushing result. "He's got the instinct allright," he said of Solskjaer. "But it's early season, the league's not really started yet. We're in a good position, its an important win." Hodgson, who surprised many, including Ferguson, when he started with a packed five-man midfield with Sutton as the lone frontman, said United never looked like losing but condemned Sutton's sending off. He saw only "manly tackles" rather than fouls and said Sutton, who last week signed a new six-year contract with Rovers, had been treated "remarkably harshly". Blackburn's misery continued in the 60th minute when Swiss international defender Stephane Henchoz scored an own goal under pressure from Andy Cole. The goal might have been credited to Cole by some but the striker did not claim it and Ferguson later confirmed his player had not got in a touch. Blackburn, whose former defender Henning Berg was doing an excellent job for United after joining this season, completed the 4-0 defeat for themselves five minutes from time when Jeff Kenna sidefooted past Flowers for the second own goal. United, with a three-man attacking formation and Welsh international Ryan Giggs in midfield, could have scored more and Cole, with five goals in five Champions' League matches so far, was particularly unlucky to stay off the scoresheet. Hodgson said captain Tim Sherwood was lucky to have escaped serious injury after one tackle by Butt and said several other players had picked up troubling injuries. However, he said he would not be rushing out to the transfer market. United have now scored 27 goals in eight home league matches, leaving Ferguson a happy Scot on St Andrew's Day. "God looks after the Scotsmen, don't worry about that," he said. © Reuters Limited 1997 _______________________________________________________________ Man Utd 4-0 Blackburn Solskjaer 17,53 Sutton s/o 56 Henchoz 59 og Kenna 85 og Half-Time: 1-0 Att: 55,175 Ref: G Poll (Tring) Manchester United proved that Europe is no distraction to their Premiership ambitions as they outclassed title hopefuls Blackburn at Old Trafford this afternoon. Once the champions' performances used to dip after European matches not any more. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer marked his first start since the beginning of the month with two goals, before Stephane Henchoz and Jeff Kenna put through their own net. Alex Ferguson's side were in control from start to finish as they won at a canter to stretch their lead at the top of the Premiership. United have now scored 30 goals in their last seven games and on this form a fifth championship in six years is beginning to look inevitable. For Blackburn, who had gone into the weekend second in the table and were being talked about as title contenders, it was their first away defeat of the campaign and, to add to their problems, they had Chris Sutton sent off after 56 minutes. Rovers were in trouble from the first whistle when they began with Sutton playing as the lone striker, after Kevin Gallacher, who had been dogged by an Achilles injury, was named among the substitutes. As a consequence, their attacking threat was muted, while United deployed a three-pronged attack, with Solskjaer replacing the suspended Paul Scholes. United's attacking trio nearly broke the deadlock after nine minutes, when Cole headed wide from David Beckham's right-wing freekick. But the United faithful in a packed Old Trafford were soon rewarded with a goal when Solskjaer netted after 16 minutes. Solskjaer laid the ball to Teddy Sheringham and he knocked it back over the Rovers' defence into the path of the Norwegian, who fired past Tim Flowers. Andy Cole thought he had scored a second on the half-hour, but it was ruled out for offside. Blackburn mustered a rare counter-attack through Jason Wilcox, only for the impressive Henning Berg to rob Sutton and snuff out the danger. But United duly doubled their advantage on 51 minutes, when Sheringham fed Solskjaer, who darted between the two central defenders to rifle home his fifth goal of the season. Tim Flowers then produced a great save to deny Solskjaer a hat-trick, parrying his shot after the striker had cut inside, and the Rovers goalkeeper also blocked Sheringham's effort from the rebound. Blackburn's slim hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Sutton (pictured walking off) was sent off after he received a second yellow card for going over the top on Butt. Rovers added to their woes when Henchoz got the final touch to Phil Neville's low, left-wing cross just ahead of Cole. Gary Pallister came off midway through the half, after he appeared to suffer a recurrence of his back problem, to be replaced by Karel Poborsky. But it was not until the 68th minute that Blackburn eventually mustered their first real chance, only for Peter Schmeichel to save KevinGallacher's shot. Cole found the back of the net again soon afterwards, but once more he was offside. Still United piled forward and Flowers parried Cole's drive, before Kenna produced a superb tackle to deny the United striker a minute later. Kenna blundered, though, six minutes from time when he knocked McClair's pass past Flowers and into his own net for what was an appropriate ending to Rovers' miserable afternoon.

Either they try to take on Manchester United in a shooting match or they settle for containment in the hope of grabbing a goal here and there. The way United are playing at the moment it really makes little difference. Blackburn Rovers yesterday arrived full of solid defensive intentions but eventually went the way of others, roundly defeated 4-0 and grateful not to have lost by more. It seems that no sooner do teams come within striking distance of the champions than Alex Ferguson's players slip into an extra gear. Just over a week earlier Blackburn's 1-0 win against Chelsea had established them as United's closest pursuers. Now their first defeat of the season away from Ewood Park has left them behind Chelsea in third place, while Manchester United have opened up a three-point lead. Chelsea, the only side so far to have taken a point from Old Trafford this season, must be glad they are not having to face Manchester United in their present free-scoring mood. United have scored 34 goals in their last nine games and 23 times in November alone. At least Blackburn entered the spirit of things yesterday by contributing two own goals after their lone striker, Chris Sutton, had been sent off by Alan Wilkie for bookable fouls on Henning Berg in the first half and Nicky Butt in the second. Roy Hodgson, the Blackburn manager, considered Sutton's dismissal "remarkably harsh" but the reality was that the player could have been shown a red card for the way he went over the top as Butt challenged for a 50-50 ball. Then again the earlier lunge from Butt which caught Tim Sherwood amidships was not the afternoon's friendliest gesture. For those hoping to deny Old Trafford its fifth Premier League title in six seasons, or at least keep the championship open until the spring, the most ominous aspect of United's victory lay in the fact that it was achieved without Paul Scholes, Ferguson's most in-form player, who was starting a threematch suspension. The United manager responded to Scholes's absence by playing Ole Solskjaer as a third striker with Teddy Sheringham and Andy Cole. Solskjaer responded with two excellent goals. A similar approach had destroyed Sheffield Wednesday 6-1 at the beginning of the month and Cole, while he produced another excellent performance in the van of the attack, might have extended yesterday's winning margin to a similar length. Almost as a matter of routine Ferguson shrugged aside any attempt to award United the championship before Christmas. "It's still early season," he said, "and I don't think the league has really started yet." Try telling that to David Pleat and Gerry Francis. Hodgson's approach to the match was that of a manager who did not believe his side could win an open contest. Certainly this was not the Blackburn that had won 4-0 at Aston Villa in the first week of the season. With the wings furled, a five-man midfield shielding a four-man defence and nine players frequently withdrawn behind the ball Sutton never threatened United. And Berg's efficiency in marking him released Gary Pallister to support the United attack. For a time Manchester United found themselves caught up in a crowded midfield with no obvious avenues of approach. Gradually, however, the regularity with which Ryan Giggs and Solskjaer were taking it in turns to run wide on the left, often supported by Phil Neville, unsettled Blackburn's stifling cover. The first chance arrived when Tim Flowers failed to reach a centre from Gary Neville on the opposite flank, Cole's header bouncing just wide of an empty net, but when Manchester United went ahead just past the quarter-hour it followed a more likely build-up. One of Gary Pallister's long passes found Solskjaer in the inside-left position, he played the ball inside to Sheringham, who then bemused the defence with an insolent chip of a return, leaving the Norwegian to beat Flowers with a firm left-footed shot. After that Blackburn were undone. Hodgson had Kevin Gallacher, who usually partners Sutton in attack, on the bench but declined to bring the Scot on until his team were three down. Manchester United's second goal, nine minutes into the second half, followed another long ball, this time one of Schmeichel's huge clearances which Sheringham flicked on to send Solskjaer surging clear of the centre-backs for another emphatic finish. Sutton departed three minutes later and two minutes after that Phil Neville's hard, low centre was diverted past Flowers by Stephane Henchoz. That was bad luck but Jeff Kenna had less excuse for the aberrant back pass which caught Flowers out of position to complete the scoring six minutes from the end.

United may be feasting on the champagne and caviar of the Champions' League this season, but they demonstrated that had not diminished their appetite for the bread and butter of the League.

United maintained their ascendancy and they won a freekick just outside the box, but Ryan Giggs curled it straight into Flowers' arms. Blackburn mustered a rare counter-attack through Jason Wilcox, only for the impressive Berg to rob Sutton and snuff out the danger. Three minutes before the interval Sheringham shot weakly at Flowers from Solskjaer's pass. But United duly doubled their advantage on 51 minutes, when Sheringham fed Solskjaer, who darted between the two central defenders to rifle home his fifth goal of the season.

Zola, England's reigning Footballer of the Year, fired Chelsea ahead after 12 minutes. Mark Hughes added a second in the 35th and Zola wrapped up the victory with two more in the 66th and 77th minutes. The win put Ruud Gullit's men on 31 points, the same as leaders Manchester United who play Blackburn at Old Trafford on Sunday. United stay top with a goal difference of plus 24 while Chelsea's is plus 18. Zola's first was a stunning 20-metre shot after Hughes had created the chance. Hughes scored the second himself and helped create Zola's second when Derby's Estonian goalkeeper Mart Poom failed to hold Hughes' shot and Zola followed up to score. Zola's third, and Chelsea's fourth was a goal stamped "Made in Italy" all over it with Roberto di Matteo linking with Zola who picked his spot perfectly to give Poom no chance. Leeds continued their climb up the table to fourth place, and also continued their astonishing powers of recovery by beating Barnsley 3-2 after trailing 2-0 in only 28 minutes. The home team had scored through Andy Liddell and Ashley Ward. Leeds, who have come back from 3-0 down to beat Derby 4-3 and from 1-0 down to beat West Ham 2-1 in their last two matches, repeated the trick with goals from Norwegian Alf-Inge Haaland (35), Rod Wallace (79) and Derek Lilley (82). The result was a major disappointment for Barnsley who won 1-0 at Liverpool last week and meant they stayed 19th -- just a point clear of bottom-placed Everton who lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur for their fifth successive setback. The result was an enormous relief to Spurs, playing under new Swiss coach Christian Gross for the first time following the departure of Gerry Francis two weeks ago. These two members of English soccer's Big Five have fallen on hard times this season with Spurs starting the match in 17th place and Everton bottom, but Tottenham halted their run of four straight defeats with a munch improved display. Their opener after 72 minutes came when Swiss international Ramon Vega stooped low to head home and a second goal from French international David Ginola, rounding off an outstanding Tottenham build-up after 76 minutes, gave Spurs their first away win in the league this season. Angry Everton fans, whose club have been in the top flight since 1954, demonstrated for 45 minutes after the match, calling for the resignation of chairman Peter Johnson. Relegation fears appear to be receding at Sheffield Wednesday where manager Ron Atkinson, in his second game in charge back at the club, saw his team win 3-2 at Southampton with two late goals from Wayne Collins and Paolo di Canio. It was Wednesday's third successive win since David Pleat was sacked three weeks ago and took Wednesday up to 14th. They were bottom at the beginning of the month. Newcastle bounced back from their European Champions' League defeat at Barcelona on Wednesday with a 2-1 triumph at Crystal Palace, who have yet to win a home league match this season, having drawn three and lost four. Nathan Blake scored an 89th minute goal to give Bolton a 1-0 victory over Wimbledon while John Hartson scored twice as West Ham bounced back to form with a 2-1 defeat of Aston Villa. © Reuters Limited 1997 |
