Manchester United received more last-gasp salvation at Old Trafford
- this time from Edwin van der Sar as they scrambled back to the Premier
League summit with a 2-1 win over Bolton.
Late goals against Manchester City and Sunderland have kept United
afloat at Old Trafford this season. This time the drama was all
at the other end.
Two goals up and cruising against Bolton thanks to an early Zat
Knight own goal and Antonio Valencia's first since a £17million
summer move from Wigan, United looked destined to cruise home.
Instead, the whole game changed following a series of superb saves
from Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Matt Taylor pulled one back 15 minutes from time. And with almost
the final touch, Gary Cahill went agonisingly close to snatching
a point with a point-blank header which the returning veteran Van
der Sar somehow managed to keep out.
