Lennon scampers in from the right and tries his luck with an effort from the edge of the box, which is blocked before it can travel very far.
- 88'
Groands from the crowd as Huddlestone gets his pass to Lennon all wrong and it goes out for a throw. This is not the time for the home side to be giving the ball away.
- 88'
Valencia very nearly frees Welbeck as United try to break away. Spaces are, inevitably, opening up.
- 87'
Carrick rather lumps the ball forward, and Spurs keep the pressure on. Three minutes and counting.
- 86'
From the corner, the United keeper catches confidently.

- 82'
Not from this corner - cleared by Tottenham. But United soon win another free-kick, which Van Persie will look to bend into the area.
- 81'
Corner for United as Assou-Ekotto blocks a cross. Can they get the second goal that would put this one beyond doubt?
- 81'
Defoe finds space on the edge of the area. He shoots, but it's not one of his better-hit efforts and De Gea is more than equal to it.
- 80'

- 78'
Evra breaks away, and his low cross is cut out before it can reach Welbeck.
- 77'
Brilliant by Lennon - he turns into space and then feeds Defoe on the left of the area. He takes too long, and Ferdinand blocks. Brilliant chance that, but it goes astray.
- 76'
