Wayne Rooney rescued Manchester United after almost playing the
Premier League champions into trouble during a 3-1 victory at struggling
Hull.
Rooney gave United the lead in first-half stoppage time at the
KC Stadium but then gifted Hull a route back with the mistake that
led to Craig Fagan's penalty equaliser.
The England striker then stepped up a gear to force an own goal
from Andy Dawson and then set up a third for strike partner Dimitar
Berbatov.
The hard-fought victory lifted United back above Arsenal into second
and within two points of leaders Chelsea.
