min 1

Just moments into the game and Wes Brown puts in a hefty challenge on Martin Petrov

min 3

It has been a frantic start to the game and both sides are finding it hard to keep possession of the ball

min 4

Carlos Tevez, making his second start in United colours, is being marked very tightly

min 5

He gets away from his marker this time however, drifting inside from the left flank. He picks out Paul Scholes, who then finds Nani unmarked 10-yards from goal, but his side-footed shot is blocked by Kasper Schmeichel

min 7

Worrying signs for Sven-Goran Eriksson early on, as Valeri Bojinov appears to be struggling with an injury

min 8

Eriksson is forced to make an early substitution. Valeri Bojinov hobbles off the field to receive treatment and is replaced by Emile Lokonda Mpenza

min 10

United are not giving City any time to settle on the ball and Nani is seeing a lot of it on the left flank.

min 11

Tevez sends Nani away on the wing and he takes on Richard Dunne, but he has no support and City deal with his cross with ease.

min 12

Nani beats Vedran Corluka but his delivery is poor, and the ball sails behind for a goal-kick.

min 13

A poor defensive header by Owen Hargreaves finds Deiberson Geovanni on the corner of the United penalty area, but his cross drifts out for a goal-kick

min 14

Brown lunges in on Petrov for the second time, earning harsh words from Mark Clattenburg.

min 16

Hargreaves, pressured by Geovanni and facing his own goal, does well to retain possession. This sparks United's best move of the game which ends with a low Nani strike forcing a fine save out of Schmeichel

min 18

Hargreaves clashes with Blumer Elano and the striker leaves the field to receive treatment

min 19

Scholes links up with Nani again, forcing a corner out of Corluka. From the resultant corner, City concede another which is taken by Ryan Giggs. He picks out Tevez, but Dunne is on hand to clear the danger

min 22

Giggs slides a pass into the path of Tevez who races away, but Dunne's timely challenge on the edge of the box stops him in his tracks.

Watched the game. Man U had almost all of the possession but Man City defended well.

sorry james i would of comintaed the WHOLE game but someone told me i wasen't aloud to...

I watched too. United should have won, they had more chances and should have scored.
Evra should have been awarded a penalty also.
City had a great defence though with Richards.

Good idea DoubleTrouble, will you commentate on Liverpool vs Villa this sunday?
