Bolton vs Man U

For the first time in Manchester United history a Portuguese player was handed the captaincy. Cristiano Ronaldo a player that is constantly blowing our mind away every time he touches the ball was our captain versus Bolton.

Saha started playing instead of Rooney and Tevez starting back again. Ferdinand and Giggs both rested and the shift was taken by Fletcher and Anderson. Hargreaves filling up for Evra because he is injured.

The game commenced on United’s hand. We were all dominating them. Long time since it looked perfect where every man had to be. The game between Saha and Tevez was going parallel and it looked more obvious for the goal to come in first quarter.

Just one minute later though United had the lead they had been threatening to snatch. Nani's corner, whipped into the area, was poorly dealt with by the Bolton back four and the ball fell kindly for Ronaldo. The Portugal midfielder did not need a second invitation and fired his volley home from eight yards out.

It took his tally for the season to 33 goals in all competitions beating the legendary George Best's highest total of 32. It was Ronaldo`s 10th brace in United colors, as the defending champions secured a three-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the table, and a further two points clear of Chelsea.

To make the night even better for the Red Devils Chelsea were held by Tottenham in an incredible 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane.
