Manchester United missed the opportunity of going joint level at the top of the Premiership after crashing 3-0 at Fulham.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men looked like being held to a surprise draw in the opening match of their Far East tour.

Owen, though, had other ideas after coming on as a second-half sub, showing the scoring instinct Ferguson knew he had when he made his shock decision to buy the former Liverpool star last month.

If the showdown between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in Rome was genuine and credible to determine who is the best player in the world, then the Argentine has won by a mile.

Joan Laporta said on Tuesday night that Barcelona against Manchester United was the "dream final". But then he would say that. He is, after all, the president of Barcelona and he had just sat at the Emirates watching United tear Arsenal apart, less than 24 hours before his side faced Chelsea for a place in Rome. He was not so much articulating a dream final as articulating his dream of being in the final. United came as part of the package, not a personal preference.

Relegation battlers Middesbrough brought Justin Hoyte into their back-line in place of Andrew Taylor. Premier League leaders Manchester United, meanwhile, made seven changes to their Champions League XI. Jonny Evans came in for Rio Ferdinand, as expected, with Cristiano Ronaldo starting on the bench and Michael Carrick rested completely. Ji-Sung Park and Federico Macheda started, alongside veteran pair Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.

Liverpool v Chelsea

Liverpool were hammered in their own back-yard in the Champions League as Chelsea took a huge step on the road to a possible Champions League final in Rome with a 3-1 win.

Liverpool and Chelsea will renew their Champions League rivalry after being drawn together in the quarter-finals today.

MANCHESTER, March15 – What a week for Rafa Benítez. A four-goal victory over Real Madrid followed by four goals to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. Life can scarcely get any sweeter, and it could easily have been five.
