Listen - Man Utd 2-0 Bolton - Fergie pleased to nab points

MAN UTD 2-0 BOLTON

A day of controversy at Old Trafford as not for the first time, referees have been accused of favouring the bigger teams, especially on their home patch.

United were frustrated for an hour by a disciplined and organised Bolton team who should have taken the lead in the first half through Fabrice Muamba's amazing miss.

But Jloyd Samuel's seemingly fair tackle was adjudged to have been a foul in the area on Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese winger dusted himself off before slotting home his first league goal of the season in his first start.

Wayne Rooney curled in a brilliant second goal with less than 15 minutes to go to seal their first victory in 3 matches.

Naturally, after the match, all the talk was about Rob Styles' decision - but Sir Alex Ferguson ignored the doubts and says 3 points were vital for his team.
