Manchester United vs Arsenal

1. 95'

   FULL-TIME: You have to wonder how damaging that result will be to Arsenal's psyche. A game their team were seemingly in charge of was wrestled from their grip via a controversial penalty and an hugely unfortunate own goal. How will they react to this setback? Not vintage from United but Sir Alex son't care about that. United have passed their first big test of the season.

2. 95'

   Arsene Wenger was celebrating what looked to be an equaliser from Van Persie but unbeknownst to the Arsenal manager Gallas had just strayed offside so the goal does not stand. And Mr Wenger has been sent to the naughty boys's step for his protests to the delight of the United fans who merrily serenade his long lonely walk to the stands.

3. 93'

   Fletcher clears from a Ramsey cross and Nani almost seals the win with a low shot that is too close to Almunia. His shot brings a fine save from the Spaniard (Englishman?) before Nani hits the rebound over.

4. 92'

   Dimitar Berbatov gets on the end of a fantstic ball from Nani and repays his team-mate with a woeful attempt at the art of finishing which he appears to execute with his shin. Rubbish.

5. 90'

   Five minutes of time will be added on here. There is still time for Arsenal to salvage something from this.

6. 88'

   United have a corner which Arsenal desperately clear. Rooney then throws himself to the floor in an improvised attempt to prevent Bendnter racing up the park.

7. 88'

   United have a corner which Arsenal desperately clear. Rooney then throws himself to the floor in an improvised attempt to prevent Bendnter racing up the park.

8. 86'

   Bendtner puts over a useful ball from the right but it's just inches over the head of Eduardo. About twelve actually.

9. 84'

   Vermaelen this time wastes an effort to the dlight of the United crowd and United decide now is the time to bring on Dimitar Berbatov to replace Giggs.

10. 83'

    Giggs tries to thread a ball through to Nani but the United man is unable to get to the pass and Arsenal now break. Bendtner wins a corner for the visitors who are running out of time.

11. 81'

    Sagna scampers back to block Park - determined play from the defender whose marauding runs must have exhausted him this afternoon.

12. 81'

    Clichy has hit a hugely wasteful effort which brings only cheers from the United fans.

13. 80'

    Cometh the final ten minutes, cometh Aaron Ramsey who has entered the fray.

14. 78'

    Fletcher gets back to put in a great tackle on Sagna before Nani concedes a corner.

15. 78'

    Great turn for Van Persie who is agonisingly close to playing in Arshavin who is striding towards goal but the pass is centimetres in front of the Russian.

16. 76'

    Eduardo is coming on to a cacophoy of boos - is this game being played at Parkhead?

17. 76'

    Sagna and Nani slug it out on the touchline and the Arsenal man wins the throw.

18. 75'

    Denilson's cross from the right is knocked away by Carrick but Sagna now sizes up a cross. Nani does well though to win the ball back from him and Arsenal are starting to look a little tired now.

19. 74'

    Sagna now joins the growing throng of names in the book for remonstrating too vigorously against the decision to award United a throw-in.

20. 73'

    Another statistic that has just flashed up is the amount of efforts on target - four so far, although possibly a little unfair to classify Diaby's as an effort.

21. 72'

    Rooney is caught offside for the second time in two minutes and that is the sum total of incident in the past couple of minutes.

22. 70'

    Eboue has now been booked for diving and quite rightly goes in the book. Arsene Wenger registers his disgust by immediately hooking him for Nicklas Bendtner.

23. 68'

    Careless ball back to Brown from Evra but the England international shows composure to get the ball clear.

24. 67'

    Wes Brown has to chase back to block a Van Persie shot but the ball deflects back off the Arsenal captain for a goal-kick.

25. 66'

    Rooney charges in search of a third and his shot has gone wide of the Arsenal goal as Eduardo warms up for Arsenal.
