...it's a disappointing ball, and is cut out easily enough. Seconds remaining...

The corner comes in... Dailly meets it, and his header deflects for another flag-kick

Cole crosses, and there's momentary confusion inside the United area before Barthez emerges with the ball

It's an uncharacteristically wild effort from the England skipper, landing somewhere in the middle of the Stretford End
- 85'
Good play by Neville, who surges into the area from the right and cuts the ball back to Beckham, 18 yards out...
- 84'
Steve Lomas comes off and John Moncur goes on as West Ham make a switch. Not that that will make any difference to what has really been a bit of a procession this afternoon
- 83'
A rebound inside the United area - Defoe looks to latch onto it but, not for the first time, he's caught offside

Lomas is there to clear for West Ham, but again they can't keep the ball even when they win it

Nearly a consolation - and here come West Ham again with Carrick on the left...
- 77'
Good Hammers move - there's a low cross from the left which comes off Brown and forces a good save from Barthez
- 76'
Repka gets to a cross ahead of van Nistelrooy, and James has to stretch to avoid that being another own goal. At the other end, Defoe hits an effort wide after making space for himself
- 75'
Defoe attempts to cut the ball back for West Ham - Phil Neville is there to tidy up inside the penalty area
- 74'
Forlan, with a clever turn and chance, makes a chance for van Nistelrooy... he hits it from 16 yards but drags it wide. Maybe it's not to be his day today
- 73'
At the other end, Lomas crosses and Wes Brown is there with an excellent interception. Changes - Scholes and O'Shea off, Forlan and Blanc on
