Play by play
- 94'
Manchester United are the victors thanks to Wayne Rooney. United stay third and have stilled played a game less than everyone else. It was a great second half, and a fair result, becuase frankly City just didn't create enough.
- 94'
Time is almost up in the Manchester derby... in fact time is up. United win 1-0.
- 93'
Rooney tries his luck with an audacious shot from 50 yards as Hart races back to his goal. The keeper just manages to get a flailing hand to the shot to deny Rooney a memorable goal.
- 93'
Evra clears off the line and United break, but Hart is well out of position.
- 93'
Corner for City and Hart goes up to cause problems.
- 92'
United's midfield has been superb. Carrick and Fletcher have been in control and stopped City making the most of the extra man.
- 91'
O'Shea's first touch come after Garrido thundered a cross into the Irishman's back as he closed the City man down. That might twinge a little.
- 90'
Four added minutes signalled by the fourth official. Can City make the extra man count?
- 89'
A late time wasting change for United. Park leaves the game, on comes John O'Shea.
- 88'
Rafael clears the ball after tackling Garrido in the box - a few calls for a City pen, but there is nothing doing.
- 88'
Robinho beckons players into the United box moments before clipping a hopeful ball into the mix. Sadly for him Vidic reads it too well and United clear.
- 87'
Rooney is in full scowling, frowning mode - if he were a cartoon the speech bubble would say 'Grrrr'.
- 87'
United win a throw and are in no hurry to take it.
- 86'
Benjani has got something to throw at Fletcher - his leg. Not a very clever foul that one, right under the ref's nose and in the middle of the park.
- 85'
Last five minutes - have City got anything left to throw at United?
- 84'
Dunne with a nice bit of defending to close the door on Giggs who was released by Rooney's excellent run and pass.
- 84'
Another booking, this time Carrick for cynical foul to slow a City counter attack.
- 83'
On for Berbatov is Ryan Giggs, who celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday.
- 83'
Berbatov slowly walks off after his number is shown on the substitue board. His slowness is not welcomed by Hughes, or the ref who points to his watch.
- 82'
A frustrated Ireland clatters into Fletcher and Untied have a freekick.
- 81'
Neat feet from Rafael in a tight spot - he plays his way out of trouble with a one-two with Berbatov.
- 80'
Ten minutes left and Hughes, on the touchline, cuts a frustrated figure shouting instructions to his side.
- 79'
A poor cross-field ball from Garrido is intercepted by Rooney and United are back on the ball.
- 78'
Dunne and Kompany have the ball for City. They play it between themselves before Dunne feeds it forward to Zabaleta.
- 77'
United still in possession, despite an increasingly frustrated City side snapping at their heals.
