Aston Villa keeper Scott Carson makes a fabulous save to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo opening the scoring.

After a United corner the ball bobbled around the box before coming to Ronaldo eight yards out. With little room to manoeuvre the Portuguese trickster produced an outrageous flick through Laursen’s legs and into the net. Simply magnificent.

Carlos Tevez starts the move with a pass to Paul Scholes on the halfway line and he ends it by heading Cristiano Ronaldo’s precise cross. Looks like Villa will be looking at a 14th straight defeat to United then.

Laursen was caught flat-footed as Ronaldo flicked the ball behind him. Rooney sprinted on to it and expertly rounded Carson to complete the sort of finish that’s so often beyond him. Fine goal.

Mellberg gives the ball away 30 yards from his own goal. Tevez rolls it to Ronaldo, who slips it to the totally unmarked Rooney, who brings his tally of expert finishes for the day to two. United are playing well.
