Federico Macheda - Boy Wonder???

I was supporting Aston Villa to inflict a hattrick of Premier League defeats to Manchester United. It seemed to be true in the 56th minute when Gabby Agbonlahor headed the ball past MU goalie Edwin van der Sar from a John Carew teasing cross. Villa leading by two goals to one.

And then, Sir Alex, the Devils manager went for broke. He gambled by taking off Nani for a young teenager we never even heard before. His name??? Federico Macheda. A 17-year-old high on confidence after scoring a hattrick against Newcastle in a reserve game. Weird enough, he was only named on the bench because of the suspensions of Rooney, Scholes and Berbatov injured.

Let continue with the game. Ronaldo scored the equalizer in the 80th minute for the Devils. By then it was all one way traffic for the Devils. Macheda looked lively on the pitch and...... hold your breathe...

The unthinkable happened... In the 2nd minute of injury time, Macheda curled a majestic shot into the net. 3-2 to United. This lad has become an instant hero. Even Robinho or Beckham might not have that moment of magic.

So, a Man Utd victory once more. Leading the EPL table by a point with a game in hand. Come in the reds, give more pressure to the Devils and lets end the 19 year wait.

You'll never walk alone
