Professional performance from United in the knowledge that Chelsea had already won today and although United should have won by 2 or 3, they have the 3 points that keeps them within reach of Chelsea.

If Chelsea beat Wigan at Stamford Bridge next weekend then they are Premier League champions. It's as simple as that.

Manchester United win a corner on the left, and Bardsley is furious about that.

John O'Shea is penalised for a foul throw. You don't see that every day.

Malbranque is rightly yellow carded for a horrible late tackle on Jonny Evans, which caught Evans on the ankle. You've seen players get sent off for that kind of tackle.

Turner clears off the line for Sunderland after local boy Michael Carrick was set up by Nani. Great last-ditch defending by Turner there.

Nani catches Campbell as Sunderland were in a position to break. Nani is very lucky not to pick up a yellow card there. It was cynical.

Jones is immediately into the action. He finds Richardson on the left, whose cross is flicked out but only as far as the lively Cattermole, whose low shot goes wide.
- 74'
And that's Steve Bruce's final roll of the dice. His 3 subs have been used.
