071112: Man Utd 2 - 0 Blackburn Rovers

Ronaldo scored two goals within a minute of each other in a gritty encounter with a team who had drawn with the rest of the Big 4 (Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool) so far this season. For a long while in the first half, Blackburn certainly played good football despite their physical game.

In the end, two quicksilver goals from in-form Ronaldo secured three precious points.

Blackburn were certainly unable to play anymore after having Dunn sent off early in the 2nd half for a second yellow card, and as such, it was hard for Man Utd to add to the goal tally when the full time whistle blows. Yet, they showed they can be a serious contender for a Champions' League spot outside the Big 4.
