Play by play
Well, what a fantastic game of Premier League football that was. Chelsea will feel like they have lost and at 2-0 up that should have been that. As for United, what a comeback that was. They fall two points behind City but it could have been so much worse. English football at its best.
- 94'
<b>Full time</b> What a game!
- 94'
Now Cahill has a pop from 35 yards and De Gea is forced to tip over!
- 93'
The corner is missed by a flying Rio Ferdinand before Torres brushes the ball with his midriff, then Carrick hits a shot right at Cech.
- 93'
Now Evra charges into the box and wins a corner.
- 92'
Mata's free kick is arrowing toward the top corner before De Gea gets across to save. Wonderful stop.

- 90'
Four added minutes....
- 89'
A few stray passes at the wrong moment from United as they come forward again. They must be knackered.
- 88'
Rooney wastes possession when he had space on the right of the area. Still space everywhere on the field.
- 87'
They are and they could have won it through Meireles - he has a free header from eight yards but got ahead of it slightly and can't direct it on target.
- 86'
Are Chelsea going to change their plan and try to win this now?
- 85'
This really is a fabulous game of football. Five minutes to find a winner.
- 84'
Fantastic from United! A length of the pitch move, Rooney's shot is blocked but Giggs collects and crosses for Hernandez, who is free four yards out. A powerful header brings us level!

- 82'
Fergie already tapping his watch, complaining of Chelsea's delaying tactics.
- 81'
A nice interchange between Evra and Giggs results in a corner.
- 80'
Cahill blocks Welbeck's fierce shot well, then heads a cross clear. He's growing into it.
- 79'
Chelsea a bit more modest in their approach now, far less space for United to operate in. Romeu has helped.
- 77'
A superb example of a man who has lost his instinct. He had a chance to shoot from ten yards yet he tries to walk it in. His confidence is in bits.
- 76'
Torres fluffs his big chance. It was on a plate for him but though he takes a good couple of touches to work a shooting chance, he overplays it and is crowded out. 40,000 moan in frustration.
- 75'

- 74'
What a chance for Hernandez! Romeu gives the ball away, Rooney finds Hernandez inside the area but with Luiz in attendabce he fires wide of Cech's far post.
- 73'
Still plenty of gaps for Chelsea to exploit though, as United stream forward. Essien tries a shot from range there but it flies well over the bar. Cracking game.
- 72'
The booing of Rio Ferdinand continues. Really poor form from Chelsea's fans.
