Hull 1 - 3 Man Utd

Manchester United edged an error-strewn encounter with Hull to close to within two points of leaders Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title. Wayne Rooney drew first blood for United on the stroke of half-time, but later made a calamitous back-pass which paved the way for a Hull penalty. Craig Fagan levelled from the spot, but Rooney made amends when his low cross led to an Andy Dawson own goal. Dimitar Berbatov then sealed the win after a pin-point pass from Rooney. At a stage of the season when champions United traditionally begin to hit their stride, the victory closed the gap on Chelsea after they were held to a goalless draw at Birmingham on Saturday.
