Play by play

94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - a superb first half, one of the finest I've ever seen, but a dismal second, as is often the case. Man Utd comfortable in the second period and they go three clear of Man City. Reading remain second bottom.
93'
Morrison wins the second corner but can't get on top of the ball, sending his header flying over the bar.
92'
Shorey's corner finds its way to Morrison, who nods it down and forces Lindegaard to tip over the bar.
91'
McClearly wins a corner for Reading. Last chance saloon.
90'
Three minutes added....
88'
Mariappa breaks forward but loses his footing at a crucial moment and Reading's energy and vim have gone.
87'
Space for Smalling on the right hand side and he shoots but it is miles over the bar.
85'
Come on Reading - give this game the finale it deserves.
84'
Hunt nods down McCleary's cross but no-one was near enough to him. Bit better from Reading though.
83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Robson-Kanu has had a good game, but it is over, as Noel Hunt replaces.
81'
Things winding down here now - no noise in the stands, Reading not committing enough men forward, Man Utd cruising to victory. We deserve more.
80'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> McAnuff makes way and McCleary comes on.
79'

78'
McAnuff cuts in and has a pop - Lindegaard loses it for a split second but reclaims before the Pog can poke home.
77'
Jones' shot is firmly blocked by Leigterwood - that looked painful.
76'
Right, time for Reading to give this a right go now after closing up this half.
75'
Bit selfish from Tabb - neglects to pass to Le Fondre and blasts over.
74'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> RVP trots off and Danny Welbeck replaces him.
73'
Ashley Young should just not bother shooting - this one has gone out for a throw in.
73'
Ferdinand nods clear from Shorey's delivery.
71'
Pogrebnyak wins a soft free kick off Evans and Reading can load the box again.
70'
Such a poor atmosphere inside the stadium. Make some noise Reading fans.
69'
That's 35 minutes gone without a goal now. Disgraceful.
68'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Time for the Pog - Roberts makes way.
66'
Oh calamity. Federici makes a total mess of a back pass, tries a Cruyff turn and is robbed by RVP, who then misses from four yards out. He was at an angle but that is amazing.
