Champions League: Man Utd 2-0 Otelul Galati – Deflected Rooney Strike Seals Routine Victory For United (Photos & Highlights)
By Chris Wright
What’s eating Gilbert Jones?
After Antonio Valencia opened the scoring after eight minutes, a second heavily-deflected goal from Wayne Rooney (who started in central midfield) three minutes from time saw Manchester United beat Otelul Galati with a straightforward, if a little laboured victory at Old Trafford last night – thus hauling themselves to the top of the Group C pile ahead of Benfica on goal difference.
Oh, and Michael Owen started – getting through a whole ten minutes of pottering around before succumbing to a thigh strain.

The Sun dream team has classed rooney’s (seriously) deflected goal as an own goal when all others seem to have given it to him……….the tight b*stards!!!
In fairness, I think The Sun may be right on this one!
Well, UEFA has also awarded it as an own goal, so as hard as it is to say this but The Sun has actually got something right…
otelul’s defence was not too bad until that slip up
oh owen is injured again! stupid player with stupid leg! i hope he get injured everytime he pull on his man utd shirt!
