Scholes shines for United, Lampard survived Chelsea

Frank Lampard shoots and scores at Stamford Bridge

Paul Scholes marked his Premier League return with a goal as Manchester United beat Boltan Wanderers 3-0.

Paul Scholes scored the opener, his first since August 2010, at 45 minutes on the clock. Nani had the original shot, which was blocked by David Wheater. Rooney received it and slid the ball across the six-yard line to Scholes who easily peeled away from Gretar Steinsson at the far post.

Wayne Ronney again provided a assist for the 2nd goal scored by Danny Wellback on 74 minutes. Welbeck fired a right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner.

After 83 minutes Michael Carrick had extended the lead to 3-0, receiving Ryan Giggs’s sideways pass and curling a left-footed shot into the corner from 20 yards out.

Tottenham Hotspurs title race suffered a big set-back after 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After 22 minutes Wolves went into the lead when Steven Fletcher fired in the goal from close range. The oportunity came after Roger Johnson shot on Jarvis' corner was saved.

Five minutes into the second half,Luka Modric scored the equaliser. Rafael van der Vaart showed quick feet in the box and passed back to Gareth Bale who squared it for Luka Modric. The Croat’s shot went through a crowd and dipped from outside the box to the centre of the goal.

Frank Lampard was in the right place at the right time once again as Chelsea survive a second-half scare to beat Sunderland 1-0. Lampard profited from the Fernando Torres' rotten luck, staying stationary as his team-mate’s volley cannoned off the crossbar straight to his legs.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas was satisfied with the poor Spaniard's performance.

“His performance was good — he is getting a good run of games. He is finding inspiration, motivation, and finding form with all his team behind him. As for scoring, he is getting nearer every time," he said.
