Rooney 1 - 1 Henry

The match against Arsenal was fantastic. Both teams battled out well and the final outcome was the result that one could only hope for. Personally, I feel the Arsenal side was much stronger, and they proved it over and over again. Lehmann was simply outstanding repeatedly fending off powerful shots from Rooney, Smith and C. Ronaldo. At the end of it, I am happy with the result.

The teams:

Arsenal

Lehmann

Eboue. Terry, Toure, A. Cole

Ljungberg, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva, Rosicky

Van Persie, Henry


Manchester United

Van der Sar
Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Heinze
C. Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs
