man utd's game against aston villa was the late kick-off on 29 march, which allowed arsenal to pull back united's lead in the league to just three points with a 3–2 win over bolton. this meant that the red devils would have to win to restore their six-point lead over arsenal; and win they did, as they put four goals past martin o'neill's side. villa were first to threaten either goal, but it took just 16 minutes for cristiano ronaldo to get the opener, back-heeling the ball through martin laursen's legs and past scott carson in the villa goal. ronaldo then turned provider for the second goal on 33 minutes, carlos tevez heading home the portuguese's cross at the back post. the loudest cheers of the game, though, did not come until after half-time, as wayne rooney, who had not scored at old trafford since october, bagged a brace. ronaldo supplied the first, back-heeling the ball to the england striker, who rounded carson before passing the ball into the net. ronaldo then provided the assist for rooney's second, nutmegging an aston villa defender to play rooney in. heartened by his first goal in six games, rooney finished the move with a cool shot, beating carson on his near post. rooney almost made it a hat-trick a few minutes later, but he was deemed to be marginally offside at the time of owen hargreaves' cross.
