<b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 88'
Into the closing minutes and Liverpool are in a hurry. They're struggling to create opportunities.
- 87'
Suarez looks to feed Johnson on the right wing, but his pass is massively over hit. Johnson does well to make a fight of it, but it's a United throw-in.
- 86'
Carroll with a flick-on for Suarez, but he is adjudged to be offside. A very close call.
- 85'
Liverpool with a fresh injection of energy, as you'd expect. Can United see out the last five minutes?
- 83'
Carroll involved again, this time over-hitting a pass to Enrique and conceding a throw-in.
- 82'
Very poor from Ferdinand for Liverpool's goal. The defender was slightly unsighted, but he should have hooked the cross clear. Suarez hits a volley from the edge of the box, but it ricochets off Carroll and goes wide.
- 81'
Welbeck straight down the other end for United, he raced into the box and blazed his left-footed shot high and wide.

- 78'
Liverpool free kick, Suarez fouled by Carrick.

Welbeck almost makes it three. Patient build up from United, Rooney and Valencia involved before Giggs' cross reaches Welbeck. His scuffed effort is gathered by the stretching Reina.
- 72'
Enrique with the latest poor delivery for Liverpool. A comeback looks beyond them.
