Manchester United v. Tottenham Hotspur MINUTE BY MINUTE

Before the Nani-bashers see this as ammunition, its important to note that Nani wasnt too bad in the first half. He was involved in most of our attacking moves, but someone had to give way, and Tevez will always work harder to retain possession.
 
Goal kick to Tottenham quickly, Gomes sporting the hat
 
Ronaldo fouled, Tottenham win teh ball back as a result of the no call
 
Bent looks as though he tore his ACL right there

It was an innocous challenge in the air, his knee buckle when he came down from the air, looks OK though
 
Carlos Tevez showing that drive that has endeared him to United fans, he's probably run more than most other players on the pitch already chasing down Spurs posession in the opening minutes of this half.

Darren Bent is down injured and looks like he might not be able to continue, which may be a problem for Spurs with a lack of attacking options on the bench.
 
Modric causing Rafael problems not for the first time in this match, with the Brazilian commiting the foul on the half way line.
 
Modric has been good today, wins another free kick

Rooney is simmering atm
 
It looks as if Berbatov and Tevez are playing through the middle now, with Rooney out left and Ronaldo out right.

Tevez cross finds Rooney whos shot is clumsily deflected out for a corner, which doesnt cause too much problems.
 
Corner won off of a Rooney cross

Rooney crosses it in but Rio couldnt do anything

Tevez crosses it Rooney nearly scores but his shot is deflected for another corner nothing comes of it other than a deep throw in
 
Tevez nearly great movemnet by United, Ronaldo with a lovely dink to play him in

Nothing comes of the corner
 
Ronaldo feeds Tevez a through ball and from a tight angle, Gomes saves. United are camped out in Spurs half already.
 
Penalty for United! Very poor decision it must be said, but Rooney plays the ball through to Carrick. Gomes looks to have won the ball, and yes, replays show he has but its a penalty to United.
 
2-1 United

Ronaldo scores, leading goalscorer in teh league

Runs back with the ball to the half way line, how do you like that attitude Pogue
 
You have to think that the referee knows he made a mistake. If he considered it a foul, how Gomes escaped with only a yellow is a mystery.
 
Tevez carded for a rough tackle, the game is getting a bit choppy in regards to the tackles
 
This co-commentator on Setanta Sports is very disappointed that United have pulled a goal back it must be said.

Paul Scholes comes on for Darren Fletcher.
 
Paul Scholes booked, with 2 poor challenges in the space of 2 minutes, albeit the first one looking more like the bookable offence.
 
Berbatov and Rooney bully Corluka off the ball in comical fashion, looking like they stole his lunch money in the process.
 
Carrick has been poor today for the most part other than winning the peno of course

Rooney is dispossed by Palacios who has been quite good, but should have been sent off in the third minute
 
Lennon sends in a cross, not having realised Patrice Evra had lost his footing which would have allowed Lennon to continue towards goal. A lucky escape.
 
Goal for Manchester United!

Wayne Rooney is put through on goal, holds the ball up, and places the ball through Woodgates legs and beyond the reach of Gomes at the near post!

Game definitely on!
 
Goal for Manchester United!!! 3-2!!

Anything you can do, I can do better! Spurs score 2 in 3 minutes, so Utd score 2 in 2 minutes! Rooney flights in a delightful ball which Ronaldo heads in from a few yards out! What a turnaround! Fantastic second half performance!

John O'Shea to replace Rafael
 
He will be carded for throwing his shirt but who gives a feck
 
Can Tevez, Ronaldo, Berbatov, and Rooney play together, you motherfecking bet they can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 minutes to go plus stoppage time
