Source: AP Manchester United took a step nearer to the Barclays Premier League title with a win at Stoke City on Sunday to re-establish a lead over Manchester City at the top of the table. Jordan Carrick gave United an early lead and Robin van Persie completed victory by claiming his first club target in 11 games. Victory allowed United to return to winning ways after Monday's damage in the Manchester derby, while City have a casino game at hand. Stoke find themselves in real risk of slipping in to the relegation zone, having won just once in 13 league games. Tony Pulis' area remain three points above the relegation zone, but have played two games more than third-last Wigan Athletic. United, with Wayne Rooney in midfield, won in the last moment at a windswept Britannia Stadium. Phil Jones met a corner from van Persie and, with the ball bobbling around the area, Carrick stuck out his foot to foot it into the bottom-left corner. Van Persie won in the moment, directing a penalty past Asmir Begovic after being felled by Andy Wilkinson. After the game, the striker admitted he was relieved after closing his target drought. "It was a significant stage in the game. I had to report that one and fortunately it went in, so after that the relief of several days came out," he explained. "I wanted to celebrate it with everyone else, with the players, with the staff, most of the players involved even on the table simply because they have already been great with me from day one." United chef Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted to see his major summer signing right back on the scoresheet. "You go through spells when you don't score you're rating you think you're never going to miss," he explained where you never think you are actually going to get a purpose, and then. "Today was a significant goal. He did really good work from Wayne's pass to get brought down for the penalty." Meanwhile, Stoke employer Tony Pulis felt his side 'shot themselves in the foot' again as his side check out avoid relegation. "You build-up to a big game and you wish to play high tempo and anything else and you know you share a negative purpose from a set-play, and that completed United and took the steam out people. "Our last two household games against (Aston) Villa and now United, we've given away silly goals."
