Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

1. 94'

   Full time! A quite superb performance from Manchester United and a limp display from Spurs. It may be their first home defeat in 2009 but they never looked likely as soon as Defoe's early goal was wiped out. Rooney was brilliant. Thanks for your company and see you tomorrow for more Premier League action...

2. 93'

   Things winding down here and a showing that proves Manchester United are up and running this season....

3. 92'

   Rooney should have scored again after being sent down the left channel. He cut in and tried to blast it when perhaps he should have curled it to the far corner. Easy to say from an office in Hammersmith...

4. 91'

   Giggs has had an awesome game out on the wide left. He wins another corner.

5. 90'

   Four minutes added time...

6. 88'

   Better from Spurs as they get the ball wide and Lennon crosses but Crouch can't direct the ball back towards goal.

7. 86'

   Again Spurs go for the easy option of Crouch with a straight ball when they should be stretching the opposition THEN crossing. They've been very poor in the second half.

8. 85'

   Rooney has another shot well saved by Cudicini. Corner.

9. 83'

   Evra is still pushing forward and going for goal. He drags his shot well wide of the target on this occasion.

10. 82'

    Huddlestone side foots a shot right at Foster as the Spurs fans sit silently.

11. 80'

    Nanin is heading on for United and Anderson comes off. He's been quietly effective and will be delighted with his first goal in red too.

12. 79'

    Crouch fouls Ferdinand this time as Harry looks resigned to his fate on the bench. Spurs started well but couldn't get the ball even when United were reduced to ten men.

13. 78'

    Game over and no more than Manchester United deserve. He picks up a ball from Fletcher as United break, holds off two defenders and slips the ball under Cudicini. Brilliant.

14. 78'

    GOAL! Rooney!

15. 76'

    Vidic hangs an arm out as Crouch goes up for another high ball. Spurs get the free kick while Vidic points to a tiny lump just below his eye. Get on with it man...

16. 75'

    Crouch and Vidic resume their wrestling match as a long ball comes into the box. Spurs howl for a penalty but United get the free kick.

17. 73'

    Evra wins a corner off Hutton. Manchester United are coasting here. Spurs need to make the extra man count.

18. 72'

    Jenas gets a yellow for pulling back Giggs.

19. 71'

    Niko Kranjcar gets a Spurs debut and Robbie Keane comes off.

20. 70'

    Evra cuts inside and whacks a shot into the side netting.

21. 69'

    Corluka goes off and Alan Hutton is on for Spurs.

22. 68'

    Jenas slides a delightful ball inside O'Shea for Assou-Ekotto but his pull backis nowhere near Defoe.

23. 67'

    Brilliant save from Cudicini! Rooney skips into the box, fires a shot in through Corluka's legs and the Italian palms away right handed. Superb stop.

24. 65'

    Anderson nearly gets round the back but Cudicini is out to claim. Still no obvious sign that United are the side with ten men.

25. 63'

    Spurs play a neat string of passes but still end up lumping it into the box for Crouch. A stray arm from him constitutes a foul, according to the ref.
