Is United that ahead?

As Manchester United were  able to defeat its city rival Manchester City, the Red Devils were able to solidify their first position in the Premier League. Manchester City were on second place before the match and with the win of United they felt behind them with 6 points. On third palce is the Chelsea with their new manager, Rafael Benites. As Man United was able to beat their rivals they took a real secure position in the league. The season is far from being over, but many people think that the Red Devils have almost won the tournament. However, many people seem to have forgotten last season when the team of Alex Ferguson managed to lose the title with an 8 point advantage from their rivals, again Manchester City. Manchester United was able to lose their advantage in 3 matches. One of them was exactly against Manchester City. The other 2 matches ended in a loss to Wigan and a draw with Everton, while Manchester City was able to win all their matches. Then the title was going to be decided on the last match of both teams. Manchester City had better goal advantage through the season so any win for Manchester City would have won the tittle. They played agaisnt QPR, who actually were visitors on Etihad Stadium. They had controlled the match with the result of 0-2 for QPR. After that they lost a player by getting a red card. However, their defence seemed magnificent as they were holding countless attacks. Manchester City was able to reduce the deficit by scoring a goal. After that Manchester City scored 2 goals in the last minutes of the match. The last goal was in the actual last minute of the extended time. They were some conspiracy theories that actually QPR let Manchester City win, but that will never be proved. This only shows that in football  no matter how much a team has advantage it hasn't won untill the very last.
