The striker's clinical couple, one in each half, took his tally to three goals in four days, following his return to the England scoresheet in midweek. But it wasn't all plain sailing for Sir Alex Ferguson's men as they pursued a seventh Premiership win on the spin. Ferguson's former fledgling Keith Gillespie, playing for his fifth team in the top-flight after spells with United, Newcastle, Leicester and Blackburn, headed home a shock opening goal for Sheffield United in the 13th minute. Pressure from Colin Kazim-Richards forced Rio Ferdinand to make a hasty clearance from the right-back position and when Blades' left-back Derek Geary whipped in a great cross to the far post, Gillespie sneaked in behind Patrice Evra to beat Edwin van der Sar. Ferguson's men equalised from open play in the 30th minute. Giggs fed Neville and when the captain curled a low pass into the box, Rooney killed the ball with his right foot and despatched it beyond Kenny with his left. A difficult feat, made to look easy. Evra's cross from the left had a different outcome, beating Hulse and crucially dropping over the head of Davis for Rooney to fire a first-time shot across Kenny and into the net. With 15 minutes to go, United finally had the lead and on the balance of play they would surely not relinquish it. There was still time for Kenny to make a sublime save - denying Saha - and for Ronaldo to produce a ridiculous miss, spooning the ball over an open goal following Giggs' sliderule pass and Rooney's inspired backheel. The home fans had a chuckle but the last laugh went to the visiting supporters, who'll now follow their team to Glasgow - for a meeting of the top sides in England and Scotland - and then back to Manchester for that game against Chelsea. Should be quite a week.Source: Manchester United
