   Perhaps the build-up, the emotion of the day proved to be United's undoing. Whatever the reason Man City completely outplayed United.

3. 92'

   Fergie stares at his watch as Onouha defends the last attack.

4. 92'

   The flag is up for offside. But where there was goading chants from the City fans now there is tension from all the sides of the ground.

5. 91'

   One of the rare shots on goal for United is slotted in by Carrick after a near reverse ball from Shcoles, a classy goal. Late hope for United. Two minutes to go.

6. 90'

   2-1 - Carrick goal for United.

7. 90'

   Three added minutes to be played.

8. 89'

   Tevez fires wide as Ferguson chews furiously on his gum. If he was unhappy at half-time, full-time and training tomorrow will be rather unpleasant places to be for United's men who have fluffed their lines today and underperformed.

9. 88'

   Ireland, Dunne and Ball combine to hassle and pressure and clear the danger posed by Ronaldo.

10. 88'

    Petrov has kicked his last ball today, he is subbed by City. Replacing him is Javier Garrido - another defender to stem any late attacks from United down the City left.

11. 86'

    Vidic has been thrown up front as an auxiliary striker such is the United desperation.

12. 85'

    The name of Frank Swift is chanted by the City fans. Swift was amongst the journalists who died in the Munich Air Disaster; He was formerly a Manchester City and England goalkeeper.

13. 84'

    City say thank you and goodnight to Hamann, who looks rather tired. On in his place is Sun Jihai.

14. 83'

    Nos uch defeatism for the United players who are fighting still. Another corner, but another defensive mastercalss from Ball; he heads clear.

15. 82'

    The only voices to be heard coming from the stands are from the City fans 'We can see you sneaking out' they goad as a few United sense defeat and seek to beat the rush at the final whistle.

16. 81'

    United win a corner; Ronaldo takes quick but Dunner reads it and beats Scholes to the ball. Well defended.

17. 80'

    United are now playing a very high line - Vidic and Ferdinand the only defenders in their half, with Brown and makeshift man Giggs all advanced. United are pressing, but will they be caught quick-break?

18. 79'

    The attendance is called by the United PA as being 75,970. How many thought this would be the scoreline with 10 minutes to go?

19. 78'

    Giggs lashes a ball across the box; all it need was a touch, but one was not forthcoming.

20. 77'

    Case in point: Onouha heads a tricky ball into touch; playing the percentage to deny United.

21. 76'

    To a man the City defence has been superb. Ball, Onouha, Richards, Dunne and Hart all excellent - to be fair Dunne looks exhausted now, but he's led the team and his defence brilliantly.

22. 75'

    A change for City. Benjani leaves to applause from the City fans, a debut to remember. On comes another new signing Felipe Caicedo... no, me neither.

23. 74'

    With Saha injured, Rooney suspended United forward line is looking a little under-powered. Tevez is grafting hard, but as a lone striker, as he is now, he is isolated and struggling.

24. 73'

    Anderson left to warm applause, O'Shea to something more akin to apathy.

25. 72'

    Here come Carrick and Hargreaves. Joining the game for O'Shea and Anderson.
