Manchester United was gifted a winner by former defender James Chester as the
English Premier League champion came from two goals down to beat Hull 3-2 on
Thursday. Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own
net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win.
"We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker
Wayne Rooney said. "It was poor defending for the two goals." Chester, a product
of the United academy who made only one first team appearance, scored the
opening goal with a fourth-minute volley. United conceded again in the 13th when
David Meylers shot deflected in off United defender Jonny Evans. But Rooneys
free kick was headed in by Chris Smalling in the 19th, and the striker volleyed
in the equalizer seven minutes later. After Chesters own-goal, United was
reduced to 10 men in stoppage time. Antonio Valencia received a second booking
for time wasting after kicking the ball away. "Weve had some poor results at the
start of the season and we have shown some real quality in the last few weeks,"
Rooney said. "We are having a go." United, which was eight points behind league
leader Arsenal, arrived late at KC Stadium due to traffic problems. United had
to phone in the team sheet, which included Darren Fletcher in the starting
lineup for the first time since last December following treatment for a bowel
disorder. It was Hull which made the brighter start, and scored with the first
chance of the game. Tom Huddlestone delivered a coorner into the box where Alex
Bruce got above Patrice Evra to head toward the far post.

striker Danny Welbeck was slow to come off the line but Chester was one step
ahead, advancing to volley into the roof of the net. Meyler then drove Hull into
the penalty area and stayed up to collect Yannick Sagbos cutback across the box.
Meylers first connection was wayward but Evans allowed him a second chance with
a sloppy clearance that came back to the Irishman. The resulting shot would not
have troubled goalkeeper David de Gea, but Evans again intervened, wrong-footing
the Spaniard and turning the ball into his own net. An apparent groin injury to
defender Rafael da Silva gave Moyes a chance to change things, and the manager
made a determined move in sending on winger Adnan Januzaj. He had an almost
immediate impact, winning a 19th-minute free kick from which United scored.
Rooney provided the hanging cross from the right and Smalling produced a
clinical header that went inside the far post. As United regained confidence,
Rooney netted the goal of the game. He controlled Evans long ball effortlessly
with his back to goal before flicking an overhead pass to Welbeck. When it came
back to Rooney, via a combination of Welbeck and Curtis Davies, the England
striker took another deft touch before sending in a fierce 30-yard volley. Bruce
had to reshuffle at the interval, Steve Harper on for McGregor and Robert Koren
replacing Meyler. But the hosts once more came out brightly, with Davies
glancing a header and Huddlestone denied by a ricochet off Evra.
