Late Chicharito strike puts Manchester United clear at top
Tom Cleverley celebrates with Reds scorer Javier Hernandez Hotshot Javier Hernandez fired United SEVEN points clear of City at the top of the Premier League as the Reds fought back three times to beat Newcastle in a Boxing Day thriller.
The Mexican known as Chicharito or Little Pea struck an added-time winner and he has a good chance of starting again against West Brom on Saturday with Wayne Rooney out for up to three weeks after suffering a knee injury in training.
While United cant stop scoring, the champions who stumbled to defeat at Sunderland are struggling.
In a round of fixtures that could be pivotal in the title race, second-placed City were shot down by Blues reject Adam Johnson. Citys strikers have managed only three goals between them in eight games and Mancini said: We dont score enough goals to win the game. Maybe we need to play without a striker or with just one striker.
Fergie hailed his players comeback, saying: That was a championship performance it was absolutely brilliant.
It was a really significant result for us as I always say about December, it is a month that tells you everything.
