Rooney leads Manchester United over Liverpool

Rooney leads Manchester United over Liverpool

Wayne Rooney scored twice as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 in an ill-tempered match Saturday to  move to the top of the English Premier League.

Players from both teams had to be separated in the tunnel at halftime after Liverpool's Luis Suarez refused to shake the hand of United's Patrice Evra before kickoff. Suarez was making his first start since serving an eight-match ban for racially abusing Evra in October.  Police and stewards had to shepherd the players into their dressing rooms at halftime after an altercation ensued when Evra tried to confront Suarez.

When the second half started, Man U were clearly the more motivated side.  Wayne Rooney scored twice in the opening four minutes to place the home side firmly in control.  The next 30 minutes were all United as they bossed possession while Liverpool looked unsure of themselves.

Suarez pulled one back for Liverpool in the 80th minute as he tapped in from close range following a Charlie Adam freekick.  Liverpool set about putting on some pressure in the final 10 minutes of play, but werre unable to find the equalizer.  The win moves United back over Man City to the top of the EPL with Manchester City having a chance to reclaim the lead later this weekend.
