Manchester United vs Fulham

Just time for one more rendition of 'Country Road' before Steve Bennett blows for full-time. United win 3-0 and take a one-point lead at the top of the Premiership

Make that a hat-trick. Scholes' throughball holds up nicely for Giggs, whose low cross is hooked in by Van Nistelrooy, albeit off the shin of the unfortunate Harley. 3-0 United

Taylor eventually collects the high ball after United play it around the box

Van Nistelrooy then explodes into life again - another surge taking him into the box but his reluctance to hit left-footed means Taylor has little trouble gathering a rather weak prod from the outside of the Dutchman's right boot

Knight plays it back to Taylor as Beckham lofts another ball for Van Nistelrooy to lumber after

United happy to sit back and wait for the counter as Fulham probe

Harley's cross is too deep for Marlet. United bring it away through Beckham but then Giggs' control lets him down

Beckham cuts inside Harley to hammer a left-footed(!) drive narrowly over the bar

Neville in strongly to halt Boa Morte wide out. Fulham aren't throwing in the towel though. Ouaddou looks for Marlet but the ball slides out for a goalkick

Fulham unhappy about a raised arm on Legwinski which started the run - but the rest of defence was smashed to pieces by that barnstorming run.

Van Nistelrooy leaves Legwinski and half the Fulham side in his wake as he takes the ball from the half-way line before surging past Melville to side-foot past Taylor for a brilliant second. 2-0 United
