Match Reviews,
Manchester United had a super day at work as they thrashed Liverpool’s title dreams with a 1-0 win at Anfield.
A goal from Carlos Tevez two minutes before half-time puts United nine points ahead of the Reds, who have a game-in-hand.
Referee Mark Halsey failed to take action against a Liverpool fan who hurled a golf ball which narrowly missed Wayne Rooney in the second half. In the future I will be careful to think that Sir Alex Ferguson’s temper gets the better of him on the sideline as this incident had my blood boiling.
On the pitch Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez shelved his controversial rotation policy and named an unchanged line-up, while Sir Alex Ferguson made ten changes from the side that drew against Roma in midweek including Owen Hargreaves returning in midfield.

Police have arrested a 19-year-old man who is suspected of raping a woman at a party thrown for Manchester United players.
Investigations into the Christmas party at Great John Street hotel in the centre of Manchester began yesterday when police revealed they were looking into an incident of alleged sexual assault.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester police said the suspect had turned himself in for questioning and was still in police custody.
Previously it was reported that the entire first team was present at the party except for winger Cristiano Ronaldo. Media sources have reported that the football club’s stars had attended the party after hitting the town in the afternoon.
After visiting a casino earlier in the day, they went to the Old Grapes pub before some of the stars came to the party at the fashionable hotel.
Last night, police revealed that they had been called to the hotel at 04:15 GMT after receiving reports that a 26-year-old had allegedly been raped

With England not playing in next year’s European Championship, Wayne Rooney is planning a honeymoon instead.
The England striker intends to use the involuntary break in June to wed his longtime girlfriend Coleen McLoughlin.
“For a while we couldn’t make any plans because I didn’t know whether I would be playing in Euro 2008,” said the Manchester United star, who has been dating McLoughlin for five years. “But when we failed to qualify, as devastating as that was, we were able to come up with some firm dates.
“Had England got through to the tournament then we would have married later on in the summer but that meant we wouldn’t have had a honeymoon. So I guess there is some upside to it.”
The couple are yet to set a date but has looked at potential venues in Italy, France, Ireland and England.
