Mancester United continuing their recent
positive run going this midweek as they presented a special gift for
their fans by snatching a dramatic three points over Hull City. The away
side actually didn't have a bright start on that encounter as they
found themselves trailing after just four minutes of play with James
Chester netting home for Hull. That early goal gave strong confidence
for the home side as they kept on pushing forward and eventually
doubling their lead on 13 minutes through David Meyler.
Trailing
by two goals didn't make Man United giving up their hop in that
encounter as the bounced back rapidly, starting with Chris Smalling's
goal on 19 minutes. Shortly afterwards, United got themselves back on
level terms with an equalizing goal scored by Wayne Rooney on 26
minutes. That equalizer seemed to shock Hull City as they end up losing
that game when David Moyes' men snatched that all important winning goal
on 66 minutes from an own goal by Chester, who turned from hero into
zero in that Boxing-Day battle.
Hull City 2-3 Manchester United
4′ James Chester 1-0 // 13′ David Meyler 2-0 // 19′ 2-1 Chris Smalling // 26′ 2-2 Wayne Rooney
