The beauty of Kashmir by saifullah0508 Wayne Rooney bagged a second-half brace as Manchester United moved up to third in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over visiting Sunderland on Saturday at Old Trafford.
Following a scoreless first half in which United repeatedly misfired in the final third, Rooney put the hosts ahead with a 66th-minute penalty. It was his first goal in nine league matches, but Rooney wasn't done, adding a second six minutes from time to seal the points.
Sunderland finished the match with 10 men, as Wes Brown saw red following the incident that led to the penalty—though it was his team-mate, John O'Shea, who was guilty of the foul.
The win takes Manchester United up to third place on 50 points, two ahead of Arsenal, who host Everton on Sunday. Sunderland, who started the day three points above the relegation places, remain on 25 points.
