After a long trip back from Moscow, without much time to recover, the team showed its ambition from the very first minute.“The three points keep us on top of the table with City. “It was my 200th game in the Premier League, I’m very proud of reaching these figures and I hope to increase them. I still need to play a few more games to catch [Gareth] Barry!”West Brom midfielder Barry recently passed United legend Ryan Giggs to top the all-time Premier League appearance chart. Mata, at 29 years of age, is unlikely to get anywhere near the figures posted by that duo, but he certainly has plenty of football left in him as he chases down more major honours at Old Trafford.</blockquote>
