Birmingham City vs Manchester United

1. 92'

   <b>FULL TIME</b> United press in the dying seconds and have a few half chances to strike on goal before Giggs wastes a good crossing opportunity to signal the end of the game. Two points dropped for United but they do go back on top of the table.

2. 92'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Birmingham win a corner but United clear and head upfield where Rooney's cross is deflected ito Foster's arms. Giggs was booked for complaining about the goal too, so I hear.

3. 91'

   Four minutes added. Van der Sar charged over to the linesman because the replay shows that Zigic met the ball with his arm to knock it towards Bowyer. A hard one for the officials to spot.

4. 90'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Bowyer has snatched a point! Great delivery from Johnson, Zigic gets up and diverts the ball to the back post where Bowyer finishes from two yards.

5. 88'

   A lovely ball from Hleb inside Giggs releases Carr but his cross is too long. Shame, as there were plenty blue shirts in the box.

6. 87'

   Gibson is realeased by Giggs and for a while it is two-on-one but his eventual ball for Berbatov is cut out by the last man Dann.

7. 85'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Last throw of the dice for Birmingham as Kevin Phillips comes on for Jerome.

8. 84'

   Vidic again meets Giggs' corner but can't direct his header on target.

9. 83'

   Vidic meets Giggs' corner and Foster makes a smart save above his head.

10. 82'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Beausejour makes way for the giant beanpole Zigic.

11. 81'

    A neat little dink into the area sees Hleb go down under the tiniest of contact from Rafael. Ferdinand has a right pop at Hleb.

12. 80'

    Birmingham finally starting to get numbers forward. Looks like Zigic is coming on too.

13. 79'

    Giggs fires into a tackle on Bowyer, and gets a slice on the ball, but his opponent stays down and the crowd howl for a foul. Nothing doing from the referee.

14. 78'

    Cool work from Berbatov back in his own half as he shields the ball from Hleb and then switches it to Vidic to clear.

15. 77'

    Rooney heads for the area, squares it to Gibson on the edge of the box but he gets his shot all wrong and it barely goes out for a goal kick.

16. 76'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Scott Dann is booked for holding Berbatov back as a ball sailed over the pair of them.

17. 75'

    Beausejour fails with two passes into the area. He's had a very quiet night.

18. 73'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Anderson goes off and Darren Fletcher is on.

19. 72'

    Evra hobbles off but I dare say he'll be back on shortly.

20. 71'

    Hleb finds Carr in a bit of space in the box, but as he miscontrols he boots Evra's foot. United's break came to nothing as Berbatov's ball for Rooney was cut out.

21. 70'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Larsson's poor cross is his last involvement, and Hleb replaces him. Larsson expresses his displeasure and then gets an earful from his manager.

22. 69'

    A sloppy ball from Ferdinand gifts Larsson possession but his cross is too heavy for Jerome.

23. 67'

    A lovely passing move from the visitors ends at the feet of Anderson who gets a sight of goal from 22 yards out but slices his shot past the post.

24. 66'

    Birmingham look a little lost now they are behind. Surely McLeish needs to make changes.

25. 65'

    Poor ball from Berbatov after he was released down the right channel by Rooney. He tried to look for the return ball but it was far too casual.
