体坛英语新闻:Hernandez leads Man United into Chanpions League last 8
LONDON, March 15 (Xinhua) -- Mexican Javier Hernandez's brace helped Manchester United to advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive season after muscling out Marseille 2-1 on Tuesday.
The "Red Devils" enjoyed a flying start at the Old Trafford five minutes into the match when Hernandez poked Rooney's fine pass into an unguarded net.
The 22-year-old, nicknamed Chicharito, continued to extend the hosts' lead at the 75th minute as he converted in Ryan Giggs' low cross from close range.
Marseille received the consolation goal in the 83rd minute thanks to Wes Brown's embarrassing own goal. The defender headed in Lucho Gonzalez's corner under pressure from former United defender Gabriel Heinze.
As the two sides tied scoreless in their first leg clash, United eliminated Marseille 2-1 on aggregate.
