On Sunday in the "Premier" league, two more matches of the second round took place.
"Manchester United" team lost their first points in an away match against London's "Fulham" club, ending the game in a 2-2 draw.
Simon Davies responded to Paul Scholes' long-distance goal with a goal, and the big intrigue began with 10 minutes left until the end of the match.
Initially, the home team's defender Brede Hangeland scored an own goal, and soon Nani, who came on as a substitute, missed a great opportunity to double the lead from the penalty spot.
As it later turned out, the Portuguese's failure cost the team two points, as Hangeland equalized the result with a header from a lifted corner in the 90th minute - 2-2.
In the next match, "Newcastle" players unexpectedly won a comfortable victory in front of their own fans, defeating Birmingham's "Aston Villa" 6-0.
The visitors could have taken the lead at the beginning of the match, but John Carew missed a penalty from 11 meters. It is worth noting that the victorious team's forward Andrew Carroll scored a hat-trick.
