2 minutes later as Rooney had threaded a through ball into the box were Welbeck had been met by Lloris as he had tried to claim the ball. Welbeck was tackled by the Frenchman as Man United fans looked with hope and they had got their reward as referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot. The penalty would be taken by Rooney and he didn't miss as he bolted the ball straight down the middle. United fans celebrate with great excitement as Rooney had got his sixth goal in every match he has played at White Hart Lane.
 

65 minutes in when Soldado had been fouled by Nemanja Vidic 30 yards out from goal. Having already scored one free kick Walker's confidence had been high and he would take. The defender had curled a shot just wide of the right hand post.
