Manchester United 2-0 Blackburn: Owen missed a great chance



Goal.com
Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney made sure Manchester United got back on track in the Barclays Premier League after the defeat by Liverpool.

Alex Ferguson's side had enough chances to notch up a bigger scoreline but substitute Gabriel Obertan missed a couple of sitters.

Michael Owen missed a great chance for Manchester United in stoppage time at the end of the game.

United made the breakthrough when Berbatov showed good skill when he got on the end of a cross from Evra.

He got the better of Ryan Nelsen, twisting and turning before sending a shot beyond Robinson for his fourth goal of the season.

United boss Ferguson decided to make a change after 64 minutes bringing on Obertan for the ineffective Nani.

Obertan made a delayed debut in the Carling Cup victory against Barnsley in midweek after recovering a back injury.

He almost made a dream start in the 67th minute following a defence splitting pass by Anderson.
