Play by play
- 99'
<b>Full time</b> Arsenal fall again and have now been dumped out of three competitions in two weeks. Another miserable night for them, especially with Djourou's injury. It's the title or bust for the Gunners. As for United, a good recovery from defeats at Chelsea and Liverpool.
- 98'
Almunia with a fantastic save now as Rooney gets through and crosses for Hernandez but his shot from eight yards is saved at point blank range by the 'keeper.
- 97'
Scholes is a lucky boy as Foy brings he and Nasri together and tells them to cut out the naughty stuff.
- 96'
Scholes is losing the plot here. He's crunched in on Nasri, the two square up then he pushes Chamakh for good measure.
- 95'
What a chance for Rosicky! Again Sagna delivers good ball and Rosicky misses the ball from seven yards out. Oh dear.
- 94'

- 93'
Now Rooney is through from Scholes' pass but Rooney scuffs his left-footed shot wide from 15 yards out.
- 92'
Super ball from Scholes to Giggs but the Welshman can;t control the pass.
- 91'
This has turned into a procession for United now.
- 90'
Eight minutes added time....
- 89'
United can just keep possession now, with Arsenal knackered and one man short. Rooney fires a volley right at Almunia.
- 88'
More good possession in a good area for Arsenal but no end product.
- 87'
A poor cross from Hernandez after being fed by Rooney. Gaps everywhere now.
- 86'
Ramsey has slotted in alongside Koscielny. Odd choice perhaps.
- 85'
A lengthy stoppage which spells bad news for Djourou and Arsenal. He's been given oxygen too.
- 84'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0312/rooneygoal20110312_275x155.jpg"><br> Rooney nods United's second.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Evra has gone off and Scholes is on.
- 82'
It was actually Sagna who caused the injury I think. Djourou will shortly be leaving on a stretcher, and Arsenal have made all their substitutions.
- 81'
Now Djourou is rolling around on the floor. Looks like he may have popped his shoulder.
- 80'
United breakaway, Giggs feeds Rooney, he crosses for Hernandez but Djourou gets there first on the slide. The ball is dropping into the net but Almunia, who is on the deck, reaches up and claws it away.
- 79'
United's fans sing: "One more year," at Van der Sar, who has been impeccable tonight.
- 78'
Rosicky fires in a fierce effort that Van der Sar saves superbly, the balls rolls across goal but Chamakh is slow on the uptake and Evra gets there first.
- 77'
More good delilvery from Sagna and Gibbs at the far post but Gibbs decides to head across goal instead of try to beat VDS. It falls to Nasri but his shot is blocked by Chamakh.
- 76'
Sagna crosses, Chamakh has the chance seven yards out but his header isn't precise enough and again VDS makes a vital save.
- 75'
If only Arsenal had a few more like that boy.
