Giggs gets top spot back for Man United

Published on Feb 9th, 2009, No Comments

Ryan Giggs scored an excellent goal to clinch the match 1 – 0 for Manchester United against West Ham on Sunday. This ensured Man U regains the top spot in the English Premier League from Liverpool, who briefly went to the top on Saturday by beating Portsmouth 3 – 2.

In a cagey game of few chances Giggs jinked past two West Ham players after 61 minutes before skimming a low shot inside the far post to put the champions two points clear of Liverpool.

United have 55 points from 24 games while Liverpool, who beat Portsmouth 3-2 on Saturday, have 54 from 25.

United’s miserly defence was never unduly troubled as they registered a 13th consecutive clean sheet in the league.

Arsenal remain a distant fifth after drawing 0-0 at north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur despite playing for nearly an hour with ten men after Emmanuel Eboue was sent off.
