FFS the defender should have cleared the ball in the first place. His feet were so slow he never even kicked at the ball, he just let the ball hit his feet and diverted it to Scholes. He then fell over like a newly crippled person attempting their first steps in physiotherapy.
No problem whatsoever with the goal from a MU/PS perspective. He took the goal well, controlled the ball, didn't panic, moved in to space and prodcued a good finish. But from a defensive POV that was a pathetic goal. There was nothing special about the cross and it should have been cleared to the half way line. There was nothing exceptional from Scoles's footwork, it was simply awful defending to allow him to time and space 8 yards from goal to calmly finish.

I was venting over the Vokes miss when someone else asked if the top 3 were on the same points. I then went into more detail over the nature of Scoles's goal and Vokes's miss. I wasn't doing an in-depth match report.
I suppose Vokes's miss was really down to van der Sar's Jedi mind tricks?
