English Premier League: Stoke City 0 - Man Utd 2
Manchester United regained their 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after a strong performance at the Britannia Stadium which deepened Stoke's relegation worries. Michael Carrick opened the scoring after just four minutes in the first half. And the Red Devils held on with the slim 1-0 lead until the break.
Stoke came back stronger in the second half to pressure the visitors. As they were getting the right momentum, the Potters' hopes were dealt a crushing blow when they gave away a penalty. Robin van Persie ended his goal drought as he took the spot-kick smartly by sending the ball into the bottom corner before running to the touchline to celebrate with Sir Alex Ferguson.
United now need only seven points from their remaining six games to ensure they cannot be caught by Manchester City.
