Reds smash it up at the Palace

Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney struck within six minutes of each other in the second half of this morning's fixture at Selhurst Park to hand Manchester United victory over Crystal Palace. The Dutchman's penalty was quickly followed by an unstoppable volley from his strike partner to break down the resilient hosts, and the goals were a relief for the Reds after spells of persistent possession play had failed to reap rewards. Sadly, this is still not enough as two Reds players (Nemanja Vidic and Ryan Giggs) copped a yellow card each and Man United are still fifteen points behind league leaders Chelsea. If David Moyes can win every game from hereon out, he will still have a chance at defending the title.
