I’m writing the match report (yes, I did end up watching after all), but I thought that I should put up the goal videos at least.
Manchester United starting lineup:
van der Sar
Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra
Solskjaer, Scholes, Carrick, O’Shea, Rooney
Saha
We played a 4-5-1 which was flowing into 4-3-3 (Solskjaer and Rooney pushing forward) when we were attacking. Didn’t see much of the ball early on but with Giggs coming on for Brown in the second half United turned to their old 4-4-2 and pulled out 3 goals thanks to good old-fashioned pressure and silly defensive errors.
Official match report (ManUtd.com): Wigan 1 Manchester United 3 (I’m putting up my report in a bit).
And now for the goals:
Wigan 1-0 Manchester United (Leighton Baines – 5′)
Wigan 1-1 Manchester United (Nemanja Vidic – 62′)
Wigan 1-2 Manchester United (Louis Saha – 66′)
Wigan 1-3 Manchester United (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 93′)
