Manchester United and Tottenham rallied to victories Saturday in the English Premier League.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored two goals to lead United over Fulham 3-2, and Robbie Keane came off the bench to score the winning goal in Tottenham's 3-2 win at second-place Charlton.

Collins John put Fulham ahead after two minutes, but Van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney scored to send Man United in front. Claus Jensen made it 2-2 with a free kick before United got another goal from Van Nistelrooy in the final minute of the first half.

Darren Bent scored two goals for Charlton. Tottenham replied with goals from Ledley King and Mido before Keane scored the winner in the 80th minute.

Tottenham is even with Charlton but in third place on goal difference. Both teams are six points behind defending champion Chelsea, which plays at Liverpool on Sunday.
