OH WHEN THE REDS, GO MARCHING IN...

United 5 Spurs 2


From despair to where? First. Heartbreak turned to heaven Saturday as United scored 5 unanswered goals against mid-table Spurs.

It's been 23 years since Tottenham beat The Reds at O.T., but the first half gave everyone pause to rewrite the history books.

Despite being 2-0 down at the break, one Wayne Rooney said United never lost hope and always believed one goal could lead to a hatful.

"It was a brilliant comeback. We played too slow in the first half and Tottenham caused a few problems, especially down the right.

"But even at 2-0 down we knew once we got that first goal we'd get more opportunities to score. Thankfully we took them and in the end it was quite comfortable."

A few matches left. A game in hand. A 1 point lead. Sounds great. So I won't try and rewrite history just yet.
