Manchester United reclaimed top spot in the English Premier League
from local rivals Manchester City despite being held 1-1 at lowly
Birmingham on Tuesday night. The draw sees United join City, who have played two games more, on 38
points but with a superior goal difference. Arsenal occupy third spot, three points adrift, after their 3-1 win at
defending champions Chelsea on Monday. Dimitar Berbatov put United ahead in the second half and victory
looked assured until Lee Bowyer cropped up with a late equalizer in
the dying moments at St Andrews. Man City take over at the top after Villa rout
We deserved to win the game, we were the better team
--Alex Ferguson Chances were few and far between in the first half, with Birmingham
more than matching United, who are unbeaten in the league this season. Ryan Giggs almost beat his former United teammate Ben Foster, but the
Birmingham goalkeeper was able to touch his shot onto the post. Berbatov's 15th of the season came in the 58th minute after a fine
pass from Darron Gibson and the Bulgarian clipped the outside of the
post with a sharp effort shortly afterwards. Birmingham manager Alex McLeish rung the changes and brought on
Alexander Hleb and giant Serbian striker Nikola Zigic. It all looked in vain as United played down the clock, but in a
last-gasp attack Roger Johnson crossed, Zigic got a touch with a
suspicion of handball and Bowyer applied the finish, with United
appealing for offside. It left United manager Alex Ferguson unhappy after seeing his side
concede another late away goal to deny them victory. "It was handball, there was a foul on the center half...he went right
through the back of him. If the ref can't see that what chance have
you got? "We deserved to win the game, we were the better team," he told Sky Sports. The precious point lifts Birmingham out of the bottom in a tight race
to avoid relegation from the English top-flight this season. http://www.hachiroku.net/forums/member.php?u=4955
