SWEET REVENGE


3 Headers = 3 Points + Celtic's loss = United tops Group F

Simple equation ain't it?
Went to sleep only early this morning after the match ended and so didn't wake up till 2 hours ago, thus the delay in this post.

Was feeling sluggish at the start but kept awake at the speed the 2 teams were playing. Like the Devils, the moment that jerked me awake & subsequently kept me at the edge of my seat - Nelson's goal. That was a rocket. And thank god for this goal, United came back with 3 brilliant ones to silent Benfica. Thank you Nelson, for the wake up call (:

You can always count on Vidic to provide stunning headers. Whenever there's a corner, I'm always silently praying Vidic will get on the scoresheet. If I remember correctly, all his goals this season were headers. Serbia's Klose perhaps? And Giggs was just... Giggs. With Cristiano, Evra & Neville, the 4 of them really worked those Benfica players silly.

And Celtic's loss was a shock, just made United's night P-E-R-F-E-C-T. And to think United, prior to this fixture, had to worry being knocked out in the group stage again.
