Play by play

  1. 93'

    All credit to Villa - they were fantastic today and thoroughly deserved their win. United just weren't at it, and couldn't create anything of note in the second half. the players lap it up, as well they might. United stay second, three behind Chelsea. Villa are up third.

  2. 93'

    That's it! Villa win at Old Trafford!

  3. 93'

    Milner goes to the corner flag but gives away a free kick, 20 seconds left...

  4. 92'

    Berbatov loses possession to Petrov and then fouls his fellow countryman.

  5. 91'

    Berbatov lays-ff to Carrick but his volley squirms off the side of his boot and goes wide. Martin O'Neill is furious after Carew was brought down but the ref waved play on.

  6. 90'

    Three minutes added. Fergie goes predictably mental.

  7. 89'

    Not much doing for United as time drags on. They are camped in Villa's half but not getting that final ball right.

  8. 88'

    Wes Brown is on the edge of Villa's box but Milner brings the ball away and wins a throw in. Villa time-wasting at every chance they get now.

  9. 87'

    Milner streaks up the field from United's corner and feeds Agbonlahor but his ball towards Young is terrible. He was probably knackered after his lung busting run infairness.

  10. 86'

    Great save from Friedel as Berbatov turned and got a shot off. Superb stop.

  11. 85'

    Petrov wins the ball from Owen and realises he's got nobody anywhere near him.

  12. 84'

    Every single Villa player is now within 30 yards of their own goal. They have shut up shop good and proper.

  13. 83'

    Rooney tracks back to nick the ball from Reo Coker. He's not lacking in the want department, that's for sure.

  14. 83'

    Rooney touched it off to Gibson and the ball hits some poor Villa player in the wall - that was travelling.

  15. 81'

    Rooney's ball hits Collins on the hand and the ref gives it. Hard to see how he could have got out of the way. Good chance for United, 25 yards out, pretty central.

  16. 80'

    Vidic meets a Rooney corner and Downing clears off the line at the back post. That's his last involvement, he's coming off and Nigel Reo Coker is on.

  17. 80'

    This is getting really sloppy now. Neither side can keep hold of the ball for long enough to do anything with it.

  18. 78'

    Another poor ball from Rooney. He's had a stinker today.

  19. 76'

    Rooney hits one on the volley from 25 yards and turns away in disgust as it flies over the bar.

  20. 75'

    Carrick slides Rooney in down the left but again his ball is poor and it deflects up off Cuellar and into Friedel's mitts.

  21. 74'

    Heskey off, Carew on.

  22. 73'

    Berbatov has missed a great chance! Owen feeds Carrick and he crosses but Berba fluffs his volley with the goal gaping. That sums up United's day.

  23. 72'

    Gibson has a crack and the ball flies over. It got a nick of Milner and goes over the top for a corner.

  24. 71'

    Rooney runs at Villa's back line and has two options, Owen to his left and Berbatov through the middle. He goes for the latter choice but overhits a simple ball and Friedel is out to grab it. Very disappointing from Rooney.

  25. 69'

    A decent spell of pressure from united now as Valencia's cross os met by Cueallar. Villa are sinking deeper and deeper into their own half though.
