EPL 客场 曼联
Manchester United 1 Newcastle 1The Manchester muppets sang their awful "Cheer up Kevin Keegan" nonsense but they needn't have bothered as KK beamed his way out of Old Trafford with a deserved point.But perhaps it could have been all three....With the home side already missing some big names, they lost Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs in the second half and our best chance in decades to beat the Red Devils away suddenly presented itself.With Jonas Gutierrez having an outstanding debut and Fabricio Coloccini steady in defence, our lads grew in confidence as the Champions got frustrated.Shay Given had made some outstanding saves in the first half - one with his head - to keep it goalless but against the run of play Obafemi Martins nodded us into a 22nd minute lead.Our advantage lasted barely a minute as Darren Fletcher converted cross with Steven Taylor still receiving treatment off the pitch.The home side certainly had the best chances and a solid defensive display was needed to keep us on terms but Martins and James Milner also wasted some good opportunities to get our noses in front again.With the game finely balanced in an even second period, a Vidic header hit the bar but Martins nodded over from just a few yards out when Milner's corner landed on his forehead.Some inevitable late pressure threatened to spoil our day and when Nicky Butt upended substitute Rafael Da Silva on the edge of the box, referee Mike Riley thankfully only awarded a free-kick that Wayne Rooney wasted.Riley had earlier denied a reasonable handball shout against Milner and a foul by Vidic on Gutierrez as the notorious spot-kick giver showed some uncharacteristic restraint.However, there was no denying us the point we deserved as the Premier League's only drawn game ended all square to restore some pride after our two maulings last season.But only three home points next week against Bolton Wanderers will make it a point gained at Old Trafford as we look to make a positive start to the season.Full match report to follow.Team: Given, Beye, Taylor, Coloccini, N'Zogbia, Milner, Butt, Guthrie, Gutierrez, Duff, Martins.
