Paul Scholes grabbed the winner to earn Manchester United a laboured win
over strugglers Wolves and send his side back to the top of the Premier
League. The 35-year-old ran onto Nani's pass in the box, turned past
Christophe Berra, and slid home the winner on 73 minutes. Scholes's
100th Premier League goal spared the blushes of a United side clearly
missing the cutting edge of the injured Wayne Rooney.

Substitute Wayne Rooney scored the winner as Manchester United beat
Aston Villa in the Carling Cup final. Villa took the lead through James
Milner's early penalty after Nemanja Vidic fouled Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Michael Owen sidefooted an equaliser when Dimitar Berbatov capitalised
on a Richard Dunne mistake. Ji-Sung Park hit the post but Rooney, who
was later denied by the woodwork, proved the hero when he headed Antonio
Valencia's cross into the top corner.

Rooney took his goal tally to 27 for the season as Manchester United saw
off West Ham to move to within a point of Premier League leaders
Chelsea. The in-form frontman opened the scoring with a firm header from
Antonio Valencia's excellent volleyed cross. And another Valencia cross
was headed home by Rooney for the hosts' second, before substitute
Michael Owen clipped a late third from Paul Scholes's pass. West Ham
battled bravely, but fell away in the face of Rooney's brilliance.

Everton delivered another twist in the title race as United followed
Chelsea in crashing to defeat at a vibrant Goodison Park. David Moyes'
resurgent side came from behind, as they did against Chelsea, to
deservedly seal only their second league win in their last 30 meetings
with United. Dimitar Berbatov's 16th-minute goal looked to have paved
the way for United to turn up the pressure on pacesetters Chelsea at the
top of the table - but Everton had other ideas as they took another
major scalp to emphasise their recent improvement. It was Everton's two
late substitutes who clinched the three points as Dan Gosling slid in
Steven Pienaar's cross with 14 minutes left and Jack Rodwell made it
three with a solo effort in the dying seconds.

United secured a historic win at the San Siro as they drew first blood
in an enthralling Champions League last-16 tie with AC Milan. Wayne
Rooney was the match-winner with a brace of second-half headers to earn
United a precious first-leg advantage. They came after Paul Scholes'
fortunate equaliser but Milan played their part after Ronaldinho's
deflected opener. Clarence Seedorf's skilful 85th-minute finish gave
Milan hope, while Michael Carrick was sent off in injury time. Carrick's
second yellow card - for kicking the ball away - capped a frantic finale
as Milan, who had bossed the opening hour, threatened to deny United a
first win in the stadium.
