In the only Friday's match of the English Premier League, a very unexpected result was recorded - the players of "Man Utd" in second place, playing at their fortress - "Old Trafford" stadium - failed to defeat the absolute league underdogs, the players of "Sunderland".
0 - 0
In a nerve-wracking match watched by more than 72 thousand spectators, in the first half, the players of "Sunderland", who are on the brink of relegation from the Premier League, seemed to have better hopes. However, Liam Lawrence and Jonas Stead missed great opportunities to score.
"Man Utd" took control after the break, but the excellent performance by the away team's goalkeeper Kelvin Davis denied attempts by Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Despite possibly their best season result, the players of "Sunderland" no longer have even theoretical hopes of staying in the top English league. Meanwhile, the two lost points are a strong blow to the ambitions of the "Red Devils" to still try to fight for the title of English champions: if "Chelsea" wins the reserved match against "Bolton", their advantage until the end of the championship with four games remaining will be nine points.
