Play by play

  1. 93'

    The 2-2 scoreline was probably a fair outcome. Chelsea were on top in the first half, before United dominated the second. Although Sir Alex Ferguson will be angry about the penalty that never was when Cudicini felled Scholes

  2. 93'

    And there goes the final whistle

  3. 92'

    The final change for United. Diego Forlan replaces Ruud van Nistelrooy

  4. 91'

    De Lucas tries a shot on the stretch from 30 yards, but it flies way over the bar. A waste

  5. 90'

    Three minutes to be added on

  6. 90'

    Beckham looks for Keane on the penalty spot. The skipper gets the ball and manages to get the shot in, and Cudicini has to get down smartly to save

  7. 89'

    Veron plays the ball over the top to Phil Neville, but the flag goes up for offside

  8. 88'

    Beckham floats in the corner, but Lampard beats Keane to the header

  9. 87'

    Gallas unnecessarily gives away the corner. A chance for United

  10. 86'

    Gudjohnsen tries to get in on goal, but Silvestre gets there first to nod the ball back to his goalkeeper

  11. 85'

    The game has become a little scrappy now, both sides giving the ball away cheaply

  12. 84'

    United make their second change. Ryan Giggs is replaced by Juan Sebastian Veron

  13. 83'

    De Lucas is booked for trying to stop United taking a quick free-kick

  14. 82'

    ...but Van Nistelrooy slides in to try and make the shot, taking the ball away from Giggs. Sir Alex Ferguson is furious

  15. 81'

    United move forward again, the ball from Phil Neville is a great one into the box. Solskjaer taps the ball back for the onrushing Giggs...

  16. 80'

    Double change by Chelsea now. Carlton Cole and Eidur Gudjohnsen come on in place of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Gianfranco Zola

  17. 79'

    De Lucas goes down theatrically under the challenge of Keane. Never a free-kick

  18. 78'

    Chelsea seem to be improving now, can they still grab a winner?

  19. 77'

    It's been a great game, but maybe the players are starting to look a little tired at this early stage of the season

  20. 76'

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is introduced now, replacing Paul Scholes

  21. 75'

    Hasselbaink chases Giggs and sends the Welshman to the floor. A poor challenge which earns him a booking

  22. 74'

    A change for Chelsea now. Jesper Gronkjaer replaces Emmanuel Petit

  23. 73'

    Melchiot takes Keane from behind. Free-kick

  24. 72'

    Chelsea seem to be settling now, quite surprising that Ranieri has not yet changed things around. Will we see Cole or Gudjohnsen?

    Blanc and Hasselbaink have words after a coming together, referee Poll disfusing the incident
