Play by play
- 94'
FULL-TIME: City hang on, and United are left frustrated. Good game, very entertaining. Dunne and Distin were immense.
- 92'
SWp dribbles around Ronaldo in his own area. This is heart-in-mouth stuff for the City fans.
- 92'
Saha heads wide from six yards out. A bad miss from Saha, as James was probably beaten. City have defended well, but they have ridden their luck, certainly.
- 91'
Flood defends well, but United are piling on the pressure in injury time.
- 89'
Great turn from Rooney, but Dunne brilliantly gets across to block the shot. Corner, well cleared.
- 88'
OFF! Smith is sent off for a second yellow card after a late challenge on Dunne. It was the right decision.
- 87'
Saha is off-side for seemingly the 20th time this afternoon. Again, the striker doesn't agree.
- 86'
Anelka and SWP break brilliantly and set-up McManaman, but he shoots well over. A wasted chance.
- 85'
Distin's flicked header from Gigg's cross drifts just wide of the far post. The Frenchman's smile betrays his relief.
- 84'
Flood defends well but then he is booked for dragging down Heinze as he tries to burst past the Argentinian.
- 83'
Saha caught off-side again from a long-ball from Heinze. He looks very frustrated. Jordan fouls Giggs.
- 82'
Mills is fouled by Saha to relieve a bit of pressure. Ferguson doesn't look happy with his charges. Giggs and Ronaldo swap wings.
- 81'
SWP needs treatment after a clash with Heinze. Keegan is looking to get some instructions to his men for the last few minutes.
- 80'
More solid defending from Dunne as Rooney looked to burst through. He's been so solid today, Dunne.
- 78'
Another long-range volley goes well wide from Smith. United have only had five shots on target.
- 76'
Keane slices a volley well wide from another quick United break.
- 74'
SUB: Rooney on for Scholes. Great reception for Rooney. He's had a bit of a virus, apparently, which explains his absence from the starting line-up.
- 74'
Anelka almost gets on the end of a James kick, but he's out-muscled by Silvestre.
- 74'
City looking comfortable, but there's still a long way to go. It looks like Scholes might be the man to come off.
- 72'
Anelka is off-side as Sibierski tries to find him in the box. Rooney's top comes off in the dugout.
- 71'
City break, but McManaman's ball to Anelka is cut out. Flood breaks again but loses out to Heinze.
- 69'
A little possession for City, but it breaks down at the edge of the box. The visitors have shown no ambition here today.
- 68'
City break, but they allow the United players back and to get in to position. Anelka flagged for off-side.
- 67'
Saha finds Giggs clean through, but the winger shoots wide when one-on-one with James. Great chance; the best of the match.
- 66'
SWP is crowded out by three United defenders. More crosses are kept out, and Saha is adjudged off-side when they do finally get through.
