Manchester United's pursuit of the Premier League title suffered
a humiliating setback with a thrashing at Craven Cottage inspired
by Bobby Zamora.
Danny Murphy opened the scoring from 30-yards after capitalising
on a blunder by Paul Scholes and Zamora continued his rich vein
of form with the second a minute after the interval.
It was Zamora's fifth goal in four games and a player who was the
target of jeers from his own fans just three weeks ago heard his
name chanted as he left the pitch to a standing ovation.
The former West Ham marksman - a menace all afternoon - had helped
complete the rout of the champions by setting-up the third for Damien
Duff in the 76th minute.
