Sportsbook had Manchester United winning another tile on Sunday as they defeated Aston Villa 2-1 to win the Carling Cup. Wayne Rooney scored the game winner as Manchester United just got past Villa to win as sportsbook results indicated. Online sportsbook had it as the 26th title for manager Alex Ferguson since he took over the team in 1986.
Sportsbook had Rooney scoring in the 74th minute as United won the League Cup. “I had a little bit of a sore knee for a couple of weeks and I felt it in the game” Rooney said. “I’m delighted to score the winning goal in a Wembley final for the first time.” United actually had to come from behind to win the online sportsbook match as James Milner scored early for Villa. Michael Owen got the equalizer just minutes later and then it was an equal battle until late in the online sportsbook contest.
Owen was able to showcase his form as he hopes to make the England World Cup team. Getting a big goal definitely helped Owen as sportsbook stats indicated but he left with an injury in the 42nd minute. “I didn’t think of who was watching. It was a real chance for me because I haven’t started too many games,” Owen said. “I just want to play for Man United and if that gets me recognition, then great. I’ve been to many World Cups and European Championships. If I don’t go, it gives someone else a chance.”
Rooney has had a great season for Manchester United and he proved to be the difference on Sunday in sportsbook results. He scored the game winner which was his 28th of the sportsbook soccer season and he nearly got his 29th but hit the post.
The online sportsbook match was not without controversy as Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill accused referee Phil Dowd of costing his team the match. Milner scored on a penalty for the first goal of the sportsbook match but Dowd did not even give Nemanja Vidic a yellow card. “I think it was plain for all to see. It was an inexplicable decision and I really can’t understand it. It was a goals coring opportunity in the penalty area. It was a mistake from an otherwise fine referee who’s got it wrong.” O’Neill said, “Anyone would really be wondering how he could come to any other conclusion. In a few days it’s all forgotten and we’re losing finalists.”
