Reds bouncing back in earnest

Robin van Persie's superb header accounted for Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal and catapulted Manchester United into the top five and firmly into the title race this morning on a tense afternoon (British Summer Time) at Old Trafford. In a game of few chances and five yellow cards, the Dutchman's first-half header from a Wayne Rooney corner made the tangible difference between champions and pace-setters, but the foundations for success were built on a magnificently dogged defensive display from David Moyes' men. I feel Moyes is finally starting to prove himself in his capacity as team manager, but they still need at least two wins to close the gap to the top, and they would still need to keep it up until the last game of the season so that Manchester City doesn't come in from behind and take the title.
