Play by play
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> So, Man Utd match Man City's margin of victory, but it is a muted celebration. They know they will more than likely fall short in their quest for a 20th title. Level on points, but eight goals behind their rivals. Scholes and Young with the goals.
- 92'
So the goal difference between City and United looks like it will be eight. A hefty win at Sunderland required then, should City topple QPR.
- 91'
Three minutes added...
- 90'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Caulker comes off and Alan Tate, who was a Man Utd trainee, comes on for the final few minutes. A nice touch.
- 89'
Cleverley very nearly stabs the ball past Vorm as another dangerous centre dropped into the box.
- 88'
A pedestrian second half is winding down. Swansea fans having a ball though.
- 87'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ferdinand comes off and is replaced by Rafael. It was to be Smalling, until that knock for his centre half partner.
- 86'
An aimless Young cross rolls out of play.
- 85'
Ferdinand is down as Swansea break. The move ends with Sigurdsson firing over and now Rio can get treatment.
- 84'
Decent break from Swansea as Allen releases Graham but though he had three white shirts up in support, he elects for a shot and hits it right at De Gea.
- 83'
Well, it looks like Manchester United are going to ensure the title race goes down to the last day but they will want a few more goals to add to their tally.
- 82'
From the fourth, Jones rises well but Vorm is across to claim underneath the bar.
- 81'
Make that three, as Hernandez's shot is blocked by Williams. Now four, as Rangel blocks Young's cross.
- 80'
Two corners in quick succession for the home side.
- 79'
Surely just Fergie reminding the football world that Berbatov is available for purchase at the right price.
- 78'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Berbatov gets a rare run out and Rooney trots off.
- 76'
Swansea carrying much more of a threat in this second half as Sinclair cut inside and had a pop at goal. It's deflected behind for a corner.
- 75'
And now Rooney has missed a sitter. Valencia to Carrick, Carrick to Rooney and he clips wide from 12 yards out only Vorm to beat.
- 74'
A free kick is awarded to Vorm as he and Rooney challenge for a high ball. No foul there for me.
- 73'
A nice link up between Sinclair and Graham yields a corner.
- 72'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Luke Moore replaces Nathan Dyer.
- 71'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Rooney gets his first yellow of the season, sliding in late on Britton as Valencia squared the ball to him. It had been coming.
- 70'
Sigurdsson wins a free kick from Smalling. He wants the free kick too and almost squeezes it into the near post. De Gea is across quickly to palm away.
- 69'
Nearly a disaster for Taylor as he plays a back pass to Vorm when Hernandez was lurking. That was tight.
- 68'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Cleverley replaces Scholes.
