Although in the away game of the English Premier League on Sunday, a stunning victory was achieved, the winners did not come out of the match without losses.
At the end of the match, after a collision with opponent Robbie Keane, Manchester team goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar suffered an injury. It was revealed that the 36-year-old Dutchman broke his nose. It is still unclear how long the goalkeeper will be out of matches.
"Edwin requires a comprehensive medical examination. For now, we have to wait until the seriousness of the injury is clarified and how long he will be unable to play," said Man Utd assistant coach Carlos Queiroz.
After the injury, E. van der Sar was replaced in goal by defender John O'Shea, as the team had already used up the substitutions. The Irishman successfully performed his new duties and kept the goal "dry".
"We gave John a new nickname - "The Cat,"" joked Man Utd coach Alex Ferguson after the match.
While E. van der Sar is recovering from the injury, his place in goal will be taken by another goalkeeper from Poland, Tomasz Kuszczak.
