Hat Trick Victroy!

At first, one would have thought Manchester United had fallen completely apart after a 2 - 0 first half against West Ham. The Hammers were granted two penalty kicks during the first forty five, as well able to prevent United from any chance at goal. The West Ham supports were on the edge of their seats, a light of hope glimmering for their club. That light died during the second half.

Wayne Rooney brought United and himself a truly amazing victory in the second half, the Englishman able to achieve a wonderful hat trick. Hernandez as well made a goal, making the score a fantastic 2 - 4! J.S.Park was brought off after a softly played first half, exchanged with Berbatov. Before that substitution, Evra was brought off to make room for Hernandez, turning out to be a great decision for the Red Devils. Nani was brought out very late into the game, giving Rooney a moment of rest to enjoy the rest of his teams victory from the seats.

Many United fans are fanatic about this victory, going from completely unfortunate to a well earned victory!

West Ham's two goals were given thanks to the penalty's made by Evra and Vidic. Evra brought his hand up, giving West Ham a handball surely deserving of a penalty kick in the 10th minute of the game. Vidic was unfortunately unable to control his challenge, tripping Carlton Cole within the box, giving yet another penalty on the 24th. Mark Noble took both PK's, both able to hit the back of the net flying past the Manchester goalkeeper.

All seemed gloomy for United supports after that, but Sir Alex Furgeson had a few tricks up his sleeves to make sure the second half was far more productive. The well thought move to pull Evra in exchange for Hernandez ended up with a great bit of favor, the Mexican international able to produce the final goal of the game.

Wayne Rooney's first goal was made by a free kick only a couple yards outside the box, if that. The kick went right over the top of the defense wall, into the right top hand side of the net. Less then nine minutes later, Rooney scores again, this time in the left bottom portion of the net. If anyone thought Wayne Rooney was done for the game you had best seen the Penalty kick given to Manchester after yet another hand ball within the game. Rooney was able to get it yet again to the right side, giving him the hat trick and surely the match ball, 2 - 3! Hernandez then tops the icing with the cherry scoring a goal hardly four yards out as the goalkeeper stumbled to get back into the middle of his net, finishing the goals made at 2 - 4, Manchester United!

I must say, this game had it's ups and its down for both fans and players of the two English teams! For what most would have thought a unbeatable first half from the Hammers was seen an outstanding come back from the Red Devils in the second! United now eight points clear at the top against Arsenal! I would hate to have been a Gunner watching that game!
