Premiership: Van Nistlerooy gives United the points

Ruud van Nistelrooy's 19th goal of the season was enough to earn Manchester United all three points from their Old Trafford clash with Aston Villa.

Manchester United extend their lead at the top of the Premiership to five points, for a couple of hours at least, and will certainly thank George Boateng for a woeful error that gifted the Dutchman the winner.
