Play by play
- 93'
United should really have pressed home their advantage in the first half after Van Nistelrooy's opener, and were made to pay
- 93'
Manchester City got the point that their second half performance deserved, and it could so easily have been three after Wright-Phillips hit the bar in the final minute of added time
- 93'
And there goes the final whistle
- 93'
The whistle goes, however, for handball against Anelka and the goal is disallowed
- 93'
The ball comes crashing back off the crossbar, so close to a winner for City, it breaks to Anelka who controls the ball well. Anelka sqaures to Goater who scores again!

Wright-Phillips receives the ball and tries a shot from the edge of the box...
- 92'
Beckham's cross is headed away only as far as Butt, he comes into the box only to see his shot blocked
- 91'
United are in shock, the only team likely to win this now appears to be City

One touch for Bernabia, one touch for Goater, City are level. A piece of substitution genius from Keegan

City look to be running out of ideas now, their fine second half showing may be worth nothing
