Manchester United received two penalties that Wayne Rooney executed with no hesitation and The Devils came right back into the match.

Another interesting match from the latest football duels was the one played the next day between Liverpool and Tottenham. Liverpool is another big name in the Premier League that is struggling this year, so they needed the win badly, especially because they were playing at home. Liverpool dominated possession for the most of the game but could not create a lot of goal scoring opportunities. Tottenham waited and tried to get off on the brake.
The game was marked by the return from suspension of the Uruguay international Luis Suarez, after he received one of the harshest suspensions in latest football. He was banned to play for eight matches for racially abusing Patrice Evra. Suarez played in the second half and animated Liverpool’s offensive game, but it was not enough. Tottenham had a great opportunity to win the game in the final minutes, but Gareth Bale failed to defeat opponent goalkeeper Jose Manuel Reina.
