Federico Macheda scored his second match winning goal in a week as Manchester United clawed their way back to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Sunderland.

Last weekend, the 17-year-old Italian scored a late winner to give United a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa.

“As soon as the ball came to him he put his foot on it and that’s the instinct of a striker,” – manager Sir Alex Ferguson said.
