Play by play
- 90'
A spectacle it was not, but both sides did have clear chances to take the points. Villarreal got what they came for while United will be disappointing their home winning run is at an end
- 90'
And that's it, the final whistle goes
- 90'
Ronaldo tries to skip to the byline and cross, but he's just not sharp enough and it runs over the line

Into the last 60 seconds
- 90'
Keeper Lopez is booked for timewasting, as if we didn't already know the scoreline Villarreal had come for
- 90'
Nani is penalised for fouling Godin in trying to keep the ball in - obvious free-kick
- 90'
Three minutes to be added on

Arsenal draw level in Kiev at the death.

Offside against Fernandez, we're chugging along now
- 87'
United have won every home Champions League match since..... drawing 0-0 with Villarreal 13 matches ago. Spooky again.
- 86'
Carzola tries a speculative one from 25 yards. And it's still rising
- 85'
Giggs looks hungry out on the right. Can he conjeur up a winner?
- 84'
...BANG! Back of the post for a second time as Evans fails to hit the target. He certainly should have scored, so close
- 83'
United handed another free-kick. It's abot 35 yards out and is played out wide and short to Ronaldo. He produces a peach of a ball to the back post and there's Evans...
- 82'
A final change for the home side as Ryan Giggs is introduced in place of Carlos Tevez
- 81'
...Ronaldo nods it a foot wide of the right post. He really should have scored. Maybe in a month there would have been a different result.
- 80'
Nani crosses to the far stick, there's red shirts queueing up and it's Ronaldo...
- 79'
Gary Neville's cross finds the head of Tevez, it goes wide again though
- 78'
Will Villarreal be tiring now? Just two matches all season whereas the Premier League started two weeks earlier than La Liga
- 77'
Free-kick for United out on the left flank. Nani will deliver into the box but it's poor and headed away
- 76'
Can United force a winner or will they have to be content with a draw?
- 75'
Another change for the visitors as Franco is replaced by Joseba Llorent. Like for like
- 74'
All of a sudden the game has opened up, maybe we're in for an exciting finale
- 73'
Tevez gets a yellow card for needlessly fouling Godin and sending him flying into the advertising boards. He needs a bit of treatment but comes back
- 72'
...OOOH! Gonzalo has to get back and desperately clear off the line. That looked a certain goal
