Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick were on target as Manchester United FC defeated Portsmouth FC 2-0 to move three points clear at the top of the Premier League, though Chelsea FC's challenge stuttered with a goalless draw against fellow FA Cup finalists Everton FC.
Landmark appearance
Rooney, who missed Sunday's FA Cup semi-final loss to Everton on penalties, was among a number of regulars restored to the starting XI by Sir Alex Ferguson, along with Paul Scholes, who was making his 600th appearance for the club. Rooney put United ahead after nine minutes when he swept Ryan Giggs's low cross past David James, although it was not until eight minutes from time that the hosts made the points safe. Scholes threaded a pass between two Portsmouth defenders for Carrick to run on to and drill into the far corner.
