Subject: WATFORD CRUSHED BY UNITED
Manchester United crushed Watford with four goals inside 11
minutes either side of half-time at Old Trafford. United scored
through Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole and a Denis Irwin penalty in the
last six minutes of the first half before Cole netted again five
minutes after the interval.
Richard Johnson netted a consolation goal for the Hornets, who
had defender Mark Williams sent off two minutes from time for
chopping down United substitute Jonathan Greening.

Subject: Man Utd 4-1 Watford
United scored four goals in 11 minutes either side of half time,
as Watford's brave challenge was dismissed by a ruthless home
side.
Watford competed for the first 39 minutes of the match, and also
for the final 40 of the game, scoring a 68th-minute consolation
through Richard Johnson.
But Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole (two goals) and a Denis Irwin
penalty in the game's middle portion meant they went home with
no reward.
They also ended with 10 men after Mark Williams was sent off for
a high challenge on substitute Jonathan Greening in the 88th
minute.
Watford manager Graham Taylor reacted in the sort of angry
manner familiar to anyone with a video copy of the former
England boss's infamous Channel 4 documentary.
Bosnich back in first team
Mark Bosnich, who played in Wednesday's Worthington Cup defeat
at Villa Park, kept his place in the United side with Massimo
Taibi not even on the bench.
But the rest of Wednesday night's line up was predictably
replaced by first team regulars.
Cole and Yorke both went close in the first two minutes, but
Watford were not overawed, with Williams and Nordin Wooter
having first half chances.
But the roof fell in on the visitors with three quick goals,
underneath Old Trafford's stand without a roof, which is being
redeveloped.
It all started when Nick Butt lifted a cross from the right into
the six yard box, and Yorke smartly scissor-kicked it into the
net.
Chamberlain got a hand to it, but was unable to stop the ball
trickling over the line.
The Watford keeper had no chance with Cole's goal, with the
striker heading home unmarked from close range after Giggs had
crossed from the left.
Penalty
The third was a Denis Irwin penalty, smashed home after Peter
Kennedy had bundled over David Beckham in the right-hand corner
of the area.
United made it four five minutes after half time, with Cole
scoring the goal of the game.
After Yorke's acrobatics for his goal, his strike partner was
not to be outdone and produced an even better finish from
Beckham's deflected right wing cross.
Despite the challenge of a defender, Cole met the looping ball
at the far post with a scissor kick of his own and gave
Chamberlain no chance.
There were further cheers around Old Trafford a few minutes
later, but it was not for a fifth goal, merely substitute Roy
Keane making a return from his latest injury in place of Jaap
Stam.
Subs and sending off
With the game all but won, Alex Ferguson was happy to give other
players a run out, with Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and Greening
introduced either side of Watford's consolation.
Australian striker Johnson thrashed a far post volley past
compatriot Bosnich.
The Watford man was left completely unmarked, to provide a
reminder of some of United's recent defensive frailties.
The game appeared to be drifting to its inevitable conclusion,
but Williams went flying in on Greening by the touchline, and
referee Peter Jones produced a red card which was met with an
angry reaction from the visitors.
Teams:
Man Utd: Bosnich, Irwin, Stam, Silvestre, Neville, Beckham,
Butt, Scholes, Giggs, Cole, Yorke. Subs: Van Der Gouw,
Solskjaer, Wallwork, Greening, Keane.
Watford: Chamberlain, Gibbs, Page, Palmer, Robinson, Kennedy,
Hyde, Johnson, Williams, Ngonge, Wooter. Subs: Wright, Day,
Smith, Easton, Miller.
Referee: P Jones (Loughborough)

Subject: YORKE AND COLE WINS THE PLAUDITS
Sir Alex Ferguson and Graham Taylor joined together to praise
Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole after the Manchester United strikers
shot down Watford at Old Trafford.
The pair were outstanding in United's 4-1 win as Cole scored
twice to take his tally for the season to 10 and Yorke netted
once for his ninth of the campaign.
Denis Irwin scored United's other goal from the penalty spot as
the treble winners netted four times in 11 minutes either side
of half-time before Richard Johnson pulled a goal back for the
visitors.
United boss Ferguson was delighted with Yorke and Cole and he
said: "They were looking good today - very sharp "Their first
move in the first minute produced a marvellous save from the
goalkeeper.
"They can produce electricity in moments in a game which can
catch the best defenders."
Watford manager Taylor was even more lavish in his praise and he
said: "They're the best in the country by a mile. "At club level
this is the best twosome in the country and these boys can
finish.
"Cole has now got 10 goals, Yorke has got nine that's 19 between
them.
"What did they get last year? Goodness knows how many."

Subject: Ferguson salutes returning hero Keane
By Peter Fitton
Roy Keane's menacing intent and muscular presence could well
secure Manchester United's qualification for the next phase of
the Champions League in France on Tuesday night.
When Sir Alex Ferguson analyses the considerable contribution of
his Old Trafford skipper there is little room for
understatement. Only the reality that the Irishman is a team
catalyst in the mould of Eric Cantona.
The United manager embarks on the journey to Marseille tomorrow
morning convinced that Keane's comeback from the threat of
another knee operation could not have been more usefully timed.
He said: 'Roy's a fantastic footballer. Yes, the best in Britain
- we all know that. You can't ignore the fact, but sometimes we
just have to cope when he's out.
'It's always handy, though, to get your best players back. He
has an immense effect on the other play-ers, no matter how he
himself performs. I believe he has a huge influence very much in
the way Bryan Robson had.
'Keano has that captain's impact and a particular individual
trait within him that makes him a winner. That spreads right
through the United team and, obviously, it was one of the major
reasons I made him skipper.'
Ferguson's testimony would suggest the boardroom paymasters
might wisely consider such footballing qualities as they delay
further contract talks to keep Keane at United next summer.
His absence in recent weeks has underlined the combative
strength he brings to a team that cannot be questioned on
technical ability.
Ferguson added: 'We have been strained a bit with player
availability lately. Certain players have had little niggles and
been forced to get by. It doesn't do you any good in the long
term.
'Eventually, that sort of thing catches up with you and it
caught us in the five-goal defeat at Chelsea.'
The return of Keane and Ryan Giggs, barring any reaction after
yesterday's game with Watford, will afford Ferguson valuable
options. 'A win over there would put us very close to
qualification,' he agreed. 'Whichever team wins will be in the
comfort zone.'

Subject: Under-fire Beckham gets Sir Bobby's backing
Sir Bobby Charlton reacted angrily yesterday to the FA's
disciplinary clampdown on David Beckham.
Beckham's summons to discuss his conduct with FA compliance
officer Graham Bean enraged Manchester United director Charlton,
who said: 'I didn't think that the FA had any cause to speak to
David.
'We talk to him on a regular basis, he's aware of what's right
and what's wrong. I don't think David needs someone from the FA
to get a message over. I thought the meeting was totally
unnecessary.'
