Portsmouth 1 - 4 Man Utd
Wayne Rooney's hat-trick helped guide Manchester United to victory over bottom-of-the table Portsmouth.
Rooney put the visitors ahead from the spot after he was brought down by Michael Brown only for Kevin-Prince Boateng's penalty to haul Pompey level.
Ryan Giggs crossed for Rooney to slot in and the Welsh winger was then fouled to allow the England striker to grab his third with a second penalty.
Giggs added a late free-kick as United kept the pressure on leaders Chelsea.
The win moved United to within two points of Premier League table-toppers Chelsea, who play Arsenal on Sunday.
It was Giggs' 100th Premier League goal and capped a performance of vision and verve which has been the trademark of an illustrious career - and this a day ahead of the his 36th birthday.
Modest Rooney praises Giggs' form
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had to watch from the stands as he began the first of a two-game touchline ban and, in an even first half, it was far from comfortable viewing for the Scot before his team eased away to victory.
Portsmouth had new manager Avram Grant in charge and, although he will take encouragement from the display, he knows his side need to start converting some promising play into points.
The Fratton Park side have bemoaned a lack of fortune this season with seven of 10 Premier League defeats being by the odd goal.
They certainly did not lack a fight and fervour to their play against United but it was a lack of composure in front of goal against the top-flight champions rather than luck which proved their downfall.
Striker Aruna Dindane was Pompey's main culprit as he squandered three gilt-edged chances and capitalise on an early spell of pressure.
Dindane was played in behind the United defence by Prince-Boateng but took too long to get his shot off and United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak quickly came out to smother the danger.
Ivorian Dindane then sent a 22-yard shot just wide and also headed past the post from 10 yards when unmarked as he met an inviting cross from Jamie O'Hara.
Kuszczak had also tipped over a 20-yard strike from O'Hara which was bound for the top corner as United were unusually forced on to the back foot.
However, the visitors have the type of players capable of turning defence into attack in an instant and duly did so as they punished Pompey's profligacy.
Rooney exchanged passes with Antonio Valencia as the pair led a swift United counter-attack before the England striker won a penalty after being fouled by Brown.
The Pompey midfielder protested his innocence but television replays appeared to show Brown catching Rooney, who picked himself up to calmly score from the penalty spot.
To their credit, Pompey continued to force the issue and were given a route back into the game when they were also awarded a penalty.
Grant questions penalty decisions
United centre-back Nemanja Vidic appeared to be harshly punished for tugging at Frederic Piquionne's shirt as they went up for an O'Hara free-kick and Prince-Boateng, who missed a spot-kick last week, made no mistake this time.
Dindane headed wide as he spurned another chance, while Paul Scholes had a shot deflected narrowly wide as the game developed into a sparky affair.
But any hopes Portsmouth had of causing an upset suffered a major setback as United raised their game after the break, with Giggs setting up Rooney's second goal.
Giggs was found by a Darren Fletcher ball from midfield and immediately curled in a ball for Rooney to slot past keeper Asmir Begovic.
Giggs's persistence then saw him win the ball back off Piquionne, who brought down the midfielder to leave referee Mike Dean little choice but to award a third penalty of the match.
Rooney completed his hat-trick - his third for the Old Trafford outfit - by sending Begovic the wrong way to give United some breathing space before Giggs curled a 22-yard free-kick into the bottom corner.
Pompey continued to battle on and John Utaka hit the crossbar but the visitors, ultimately, proved too strong.

I considered quitting, says Henry
Thierry Henry thought about quitting international football following his handball in last week's World Cup play-off win over the Republic of Ireland.
The striker found himself at the centre of a huge fall-out after the incident, which helped France beat Ireland and book a place in South Africa.
And when asked if he had considered retiring amid the controversy, he told French newspaper L'Equipe: "Oh yes.
"Friday, when it all went too far, I was very worked up."
The Football Association of Ireland wrote to Fifa to ask that the match be replayed on the back of the incident, which saw Henry blatantly handle the ball before setting up William Gallas for the goal which secured a 1-1 draw and a 2-1 aggregate victory.
That request was rejected despite Henry released a statement saying a replay would be the "fairest solution".
The FAI admitted defeat over the weekend when the French Football Federation backed Fifa by stating that a replay would not be a viable option.
Henry admitted, however, that the "cheat" storm prompted him to seriously consider his future in the game - and not for the first time.
"After the 2006 World Cup, I thought about it, but it was too early," he said. "After Euro 2008, too, but it wasn't the right moment. There was a generation that needed me.
"Despite everything that has just happened and the fact that I felt let down, I will not let my country down."
The 32-year-old, who has scored a French record 51 goals from 117 internationals, criticised the FFF for their lack of support.
"The day after the match, and the day after that, I felt alone, really alone," he said. "It was only after I issued my statement that the people from the French Federation got in touch."

Nate Robinson Wrong Basket Shot Is Funny, Stupid And Wonderful
It’s not too often in the NBA that you get to see a player take a shot at the wrong basket, but that’s exactly what Nate Robinson did in a recent Knicks-Nets game.
The shot occurred with half a second left on the clock in the first quarter of play. Apparently Robinson thought time had run out and turned to take what he thought was an invalid shot, but in fact was performed before the buzzer.
After the shot you can see Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni yelling at Robinson. Here’s our question, why didn’t he just throw it at his own basket, it may have at least scored his team some points.
The Nicks still won, but Nate Robinson will have a hard time living down this wrong basket shot.

HENRY: REPLAY `FAIREST SOLUTION`
France captain Thierry Henry has admitted replaying the World Cup qualification play-off against the Republic of Ireland would be "the fairest solution".
The Barcelona forward has also spoken of his "embarrassment" at the manner of Les Bleus' victory over the Irish.
"Naturally I feel embarrassed at the way that we won and feel extremely sorry for the Irish who definitely deserve to be in South Africa," said Henry, whose handball in the build-up to William Gallas' equaliser on Wednesday night enabled the French to go through 2-1 on aggregate.
"Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control."
"I have said at the time and I will say again that yes I handled the ball. I am not a cheat and never have been.
"It was an instinctive reaction to a ball that was coming extremely fast in a crowded penalty area.
"As a footballer you do not have the luxury of the television to slow the pace of the ball down 100 times to be able to make a conscious decision.
"People are viewing a slow motion version of what happened and not what I or any other footballer faces in the game.
"If people look at it in full speed you will see that it was an instinctive reaction.
"It is impossible to be anything other than that. I have never denied that the ball was controlled with my hand. I told the Irish players, the referee and the media this after the game.
"Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control.
"There is little more I can do apart from admit that the ball had contact with my hand leading up to our equalising goal and I feel very sorry for the Irish."
But a statement from the French Football Federation (FFF) read: "The FFF understands the disappointment and bitterness of the Irish players, management and supporters.
"The federation never sought to deny the refereeing error which saw the equalising French goal allowed.
"During matches, decisions are taken by the referee and these decisions are final. As a result, the result of the match cannot be changed and the match cannot be replayed."

Why is Oprah quitting the Oprah Winfrey Show and Shaniya Davis father Bradley Lockhart on Oprah
Why is Oprah quitting the Oprah Winfrey Show and Shaniya Davis father Bradley Lockhart on Oprah. The queen of show in the US Oprah Winfrey's contract expires in 2011. Fans accustomed with her show will miss the excitement of the popular show.
Oprah Winfrey is an American media personality, actress, television producer, literary critic and magazine publisher, best known for her self-titled, multi-award winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history.
She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the most philanthropic African American of all time, and was once the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.
It is not only the fans who will be the losers, but CBS too. The company will miss the hundreds of millions that "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was bringing in license fees and advertising revenue over the years.
Others who are not happy with the development include ABC.
The spectacular show was carried by many of its big city stations, attracting a sizeable audience to their local news.
Sony is also upset as it was trying to get the distribution rights to Winfrey's daytime show away from CBS when her deal expired.
Winfrey herself may suffer in the short-term. Showbiz experts say that financially she may lose some bucks by quitting daytime talk. But the decision is going to help her in long term because she would be building an asset.
However, with no words from Winfrey and OWN it is very difficult to jump to any conclusion. The talk show queen is planning to have an appearance on the channel when it launches.
Many say she will do a daily show. But this would be slightly different from what she has been doing for a long time. OWN will benefit from it the most.
In the meantime five year old child Shania Davis' fater Lockhart, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" via satellite and said he was told that Antoinette Davis had trafficked their daughter to pay off a drug debt. Lockhart told Winfrey that the child was the result of a one-night stand and that Davis had raised Shaniya for the first year of her life before asking him to provide a more stable environment.
Shaniya Davis gruesome murder has shocked millions of people across the nation.

Manny Pacquiao makes history with 12th-round WBO defeat of Miguel Cotto
Pacquiao, who started his professional career at 107lb at flyweight, suggested he would not be going any further up through the weights. "This is the last weight division I'm going to fight in and I think my trainer will be happy to hear that because 154 is too big for me and 147 is my regular weight," he said.
Some had claimed this would be the toughest test of Pacquiao's career, and yet Cotto's punches bounced off the Filipino, who nullified his opponent's power and did not apear to get hurt once during the contest.
With a game plan clinically exacted, Pacquiao first lured Cotto into attacking him, soaked up the pressure and counter-punched, and then eased to dominance from the middle rounds onwards. Cotto was down in the third, caught off balance, his hands touching down. But he was hurt in the fourth, hit by a huge left hand. With 13 seconds left in the round, Cotto just survived.
Pacquiao thereafter dominated the stanzas, alternating between sitting back on the ropes and all-out blistering attacks, opening up a cut over the Puerto Rican's left eye.
Pacquiao's slashing attacks in round 12, the final round, caused referee Kenny Bayless to step in to stop the damaged Puerto Rican taking any more punishment after 55 seconds.
Coach Freddie Roach had said that Pacquiao would win through "speed and power", and he was vindicated. Pacquiao certainly remains a special fighter.
Pacquiao (50 wins three losses, two draws) claimed the WBO welterweight title by reducing Cotto to a slow fighter, who could only dance and survive for the last few rounds, until he was stopped in the 12th.
Roach believes a super-fight with Floyd Mayweather would cement the Filipino's legacy. "The whole world wants to see him fight Mayweather and I want Mayweather," Roach said.
Observers ran out of superlatives to describe Mayweather's stunning performance in picking apart Juan Manuel Marquez a month ago at the same venue, and the scene is now set. Who really is the world's No 1 pound-for-pound fighter? Mayweather or Pacquiao.
What is clear is that regardless of the weaknesses of Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton _ defeated in the last year by Pacquiao – the boxing world has a major fight on its hands. It will require intricate deals, but it is a fight which boxing needs.
Pacquiao now looks capable of stretching Mayweather further than ever before. Expect months of wrangling before an early summer fight in Las Vegas. The world now has a right to know which of the two is the rightful pound for pound No 1.
"My job is to fight in the ring and I think that depends on Bob Arum, my promoter, to negotiate that fight," Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao's place in history
Manny Pacquiao has made history by rising through seven divisions from being World Boxing Council flyweight champion to becoming the World Boxing Organisation welterweight champion.
In that journey, he has won seven world titles. In the last 21 months, Pacquiao has beaten the three No 1 fighters in three divisions – Juan Manuel Márquez for the WBC super-featherweight title, David Diaz for the WBC lightweight title, and now Miguel Cotto for the WBO welterweight title.
That matches Henry 'Melody’ Armstrong Jr, from Missisippi, who went, between 1938-40, from being world featherweight champion through world lightweight champion to world welterweight champion, holding all titles concurrently.

Irish politicians demand a replay of World Cup play-off after Thierry Henry handball
Fifa on Thursday refused to publicly rule out the prospect of a rematch in the wake of Thierry Henry's handball offence prior to France's decisive goal.
Henry admitted to handling the ball in the build-up to William Gallas's goal, which cancelled out Robbie Keane's strike and ensured World Cup qualification for the French in the Stade de France 2-1 on aggregate.
A day of anger in Ireland culminated with the Taoiseach [the head of the government of Ireland] Brian Cowen, backing Football Association of Ireland calls for a replay and confirming that he would "probably have a chat about it [with French President Nicolas Sarkozy] away from the table" at this week's European Union summit in Brussels.
The FAI on Thursday dispatched letters to Fifa and the FFF calling for the "integrity of the game" to be upheld by the staging of a replay.
With the FAI estimating that failure to qualify for South Africa will cost the organisation €15 million (£13.5 million), an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport is also being considered should calls for a replay be rejected.
But despite issuing a statement earlier in the day pointing to law five of the Laws of the Game, which states that the decisions of the referee "regarding facts connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored and the result of the match, are final", senior Fifa officials are understood to be reluctant to state their position publicly until the French have responded to the Irish.
The FAI has pointed to Fifa's decision to order a replay of the Asian Confederation World Cup play-off between Uzbekistan and Bahrain in 2005 due to a 'technical error' by the referee as a relevant precedent for the calls for a rematch.
The restaged FA Cup tie between Arsenal and Sheffield United in 1998, played following a controversial goal scored by Arsenal after United had kicked the ball out of play for the treatment of an injured player, has also been highlighted by the Irish.
And FAI chief executive John Delaney insists that both Fifa and the FFF have a duty to the game to ensure that the play-off fixture is replayed.
Delaney said: "It's up to the French federation. If they came out in the next 24 hours, I think Fifa would go with that.
"If there is goodwill, you can solve all these things. From a French federation point of view, they need to look at themselves. Thierry Henry is their captain and a wonderful footballer, but does he want to be remembered like Maradona where his legacy is a handball?
"I spoke with the French federation president and he said it was a handball. They have to step up to the plate.
"This is not just one football match. This is the whole world looking. There is a team that should be in the World Cup and that's us. We should be there.
"If I was the president of the French federation, I would want to go to South Africa deserving to be there. It was a travesty on Wednesday night, an injustice.
"Every time I got to a Fifa Congress, I hear about fair play and integrity. If Fifa really believe in fair play and integrity, this is their opportunity to step forward."
Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has claimed it would be 'impossible' to have a replay and Fifa is known to be reluctant to impose such an eventuality.
However, with diplomatic pressure now being applied on the French by senior figures within the Irish government, Fifa is unlikely to block a rematch should the French agree to Irish demands.
