Manchester United have a seventh successive win at home in the Premier League and once again lead their neighbours from across town by five points. From that point of view, this will have been a satisfying afternoon for Sir Alex Ferguson and his team.
For the neutrals, though, this was a day that served only to showcase the worst of our domestic game.
Ashley Young’s dive to win an important early penalty was a dreadful act. His manager called it a dramatic fall. It was actually a dive. It was Young’s second such effort in the space of a week and it is to be hoped he watched it on TV on Sunday night and felt a little embarrassed.
What was just as disappointing, though, was Aston Villa’s utter failure to make this game a contest. A big club with a rich history, Villa played like a team who never believed they could get anything. That reflects badly on them and indeed on the League.
