Play by play
- 93'
There's no doubt Liverpool were the better side when United scored, but when asked to find a leveller Rafa's men really had no answer
- 93'
The ref blows the whistle and, yet again, it's a United victory over Liverpool
- 93'
Rooney wins a free-kick and that should be that
- 93'
Tick tock
- 93'
Gerrard takes, it's lacking pace and while it got over the wall the only net he finds is the top
- 92'
United make a change before the free-kick. John O'Shea on for Anderson
- 91'
One of those lumps leads to a free-kick for a shove by Vidic on Crouch. It's 25 yards out and an amazing chance for the skipper
- 91'
Liverpool now just lumping it - they've got nothing else
- 90'
Three minutes for United to hold out
- 90'
Crouch controls - it looked like handball but it wasn't given - and his drive from the edge of the box is well wide
- 90'
Another woeful cross - straight to Van der Sar. There was only one red shirt in the box anyway!
- 89'
Hyypia's playing as a striker now, trying to help out up top
- 88'
Terrible. Nowhere near a Liverpool player and sidefooted away by Evra. That was so bad at such a crucial time
- 88'
Chance now though. Benayoun fouled on the right and it's a free kick way out on the right. Can they find a red shirt with this?
- 87'
You just can't see Liverpool getting back on terms here. The crowd are not exactly making it a vicious theatre either
- 86'
A chance for Liverpool to lump it to the head of Crouch. It's a poor, deep free-kick and the Liverpool fans are still left waiting for Van der Sar to be tested
- 85'
Hargreaves does expertly to get a last ditch challenge in on Babel who was on a fine run to the box
- 84'
Defensive switch for United now as Michael Carrick is introduced in place of Carlos Tevez
- 83'
Giggs' attempt to break down the left is stopped by a dual challenge from Arbeloa and Mascherano
- 82'
Babel again shoots from the edge of the area, this time it's blocked by a defender
- 81'
A final change for Liverpool as Aurelio is on for Riise
- 80'
Van der Sar again comes out and doesn't get to it - very close to more trouble and Crouch jumped for it
- 79'
United playing on the break to good effect now as Liverpool commit numbers forward
- 78'
Amazing! He puts it well wide! Maybe a little credit for the out-rushing Reina? Still, that should be the game to bed. A bad miss
- 77'
Great move from United here. Final ball down the line for Ronaldo who spot Rooney unmarked at the far post for a tap-in...
