Welbeck Double Lifts United's Spirits

[Folami David]

Manchester United ended a run of four Premier League games without victory on Sunday as Danny Welbeck scored twice in a resounding 3-0 win at Aston Villa.
.
It took the champions to within 10 points of top-of- the-table Arsenal and ensured the continuation of Villa's poor home sequence against United, who they have not beaten at Villa Park since 1995.
.
Tom Cleverley also found the net early in the second half by finishing off a pass from Wayne Rooney, who was able to celebrate his 500th game in club football with a victory.
.
Aston Villa, who made Gabriel Agbonlahor their captain on his 300th appearance, started the game in promising fashion and forced several early chances.
.
United goalkeeper David De Gea had to save from Karim El Ahmadi and Marc Albrighton, who was making his first start for Villa since a loan spell at Championship side Wigan Athletic.
.
Albrighton then went close again, with De Gea making another stop from the winger after El Ahmadi had driven on from midfield.
.
But David Moyes's United, who had lost their last two league outings by 1-0 scorelines against Everton and Newcastle United, took the lead with their first attack of the game.
.
Rafael da Silva's 15th-minute cross was headed against the post by Adnan Januzaj and Welbeck reacted quickest to slot the rebound into an empty net.
.
Villa struggled to deal with the pace of Antonio Valencia down the visitors' right and it was the winger who set up the second just three minutes later as he beat Antonio Luna easily and crossed for Welbeck to convert his fourth goal of the campaign.
.
United's control of the game was evident and they could have extended their lead before halftime, with Rooney shooting just wide after being set up by more good work from Valencia.
.
Welbeck had a chance to complete his hat-trick as early as the 34rd minute, but he fired wide from Valencia's through ball.
.
However, it was clear that the confidence had returned to the champions and they continued to take the game to their hosts early in the second half.
.
A third goal arrived on 52 minutes as Rooney produced a slide-rule pass to play in Cleverley, who beat Brad Guzan at his near post for his first goal of the season.

The double were fantastic from the english man. Gud play from Valencia, Jones, Rafael, Rooney and Januzaj as well.
