90+5' Van Persie puts the ball in but Hart holds onto Evra's header and that's the last action of the game. City win the derby thanks to a stunner from Aguero. It won't have any impact on the title race, but it's something for City to enjoy.
90+5' Another booking: this time for Valencia for going in hard on Barry.
90+4' City seek to eat up time as Javi Garcia replaces Tevez.
90+2' And Young is forced off to be replaced by Shinji Kagawa.
90+2' Zabaleta is now cautioned for going in on Young from behind.
90+1' Silva is injured and has to come off to be replaced by Joleon Lescott.
90' Barry is into the book for his role in all that. Not sure why.
85' Now Tevez is involved in a flashpoint as he goes into the book for a late challenge on Jones.
80' United make an immediate change as Antonio Valencia comes on for Welbeck.
79' GOAL Man Utd 1-2 Man City! SENSATIONAL goal from Sergio Aguero as he beats three men to find the roof of the net! The striker holds off his opponents to rifle a shot past De Gea.
77' CITY THREATEN! Toure has a shot blocked from close range in the box before some tasty challenges fly in, notably from Welbeck. This is boiling up nicely now.
76' Young slips in Welbeck with a clever pass and the striker holds on under pressure before returning the favour, Young firing in a low effort that Hart clasps at his near post.
72' And that's the last we will see of Nasri, who is replaced by Aguero.
71' CHANCE FOR CITY! Silva plays a delightful ball over the top for Nasri but the Frenchman can't keep his volley down as he spins and lifts the ball high over the bar.
58' GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Man City! Van Persie puts in a devilish free-kick and Jones rises near the back post to see his header bounce off the back of Kompany and nestle in the net.
51' GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Man City! Giggs gives the ball away with a poor attempt at a backheel and when City attack, Nasri lays the ball off to Milner on the edge of the box. His low drive takes a touch off Jones and nestles in the bottom corner.
46' KICK OFF!
- The City players look annoyed with something as they come off at the break - possibly because Dean blew up with the visitors in an advanced position. What did you make of the first half? Let me know on Twitter. Tom Adams (tomEurosport) on Twitter
45+1' HALF TIME. United closest to opening the scoring just seconds before the whistle blows, but it's a relatively even contest.
45' UNITED HIT THE POST! Carrick chips in a pass for Van Persie and the striker's neat header finds Rafael. He tries to lift the ball over a City player and actually lofts into onto the woodwork, with Hart's gloves stretching just centimetres short. It would have been a lucky goal.
43' Kompany is furious at being booked for sliding in on Young but it was a bit of a messy tackle, even if the contact was minimal.
33' Now it's Rooney's turn to go into the book as he goes in almost two-footed on Milner. It wasn't quite blatant enough or dangerous enough to earn a red, but it wasn't a million miles away.
26' CHANCE FOR CITY! Silva attempts to chip the ball across the box but it deflects off Giggs to land at the feet of Nasri. He delays to try and find space but snatches at his shot, which flies well wide.
21' CHANCE FOR CITY! Silva gets away from Ferdinand at the back post and plays in a cross for Tevez, who charges onto the ball but is denied by a fine piece of work from Jones.

9' UNITED GO CLOSE! Rooney plays in Van Persie to the left of the box and the striker allows the ball to run across his body before stroking a shot back across goal and just wide of the far post.
1' KICK OFF! United decked out in red, City in blue. Old Trafford erupting with noise.

@Tom, #512: be serious. No matter the sport (or country, for that matter), the best team at the beginning of the season is certainly not guaranteed to be the best team at the end. If Man U lost their last four matches in horrible fashion, would serious football fans say the best team was crowned champion? Yes, I admit to a U.S.(not American, as "American" also means Peruvians and Canadians, for example) bias, but when teams here finish the regular season in first place, no one cares. Like at all. Even the bookmakers don't care. And when the oddsmakers don't care, it actually kind of says a lot. The team on a roll, in good health, and in good form gets all the attention, no matter what place in in the table they were on the final day. And you want to call my post stupid? To make a statement that no one cares about American sports is insanely and ridiculously stupid.
Is there any way that we can finally get some help in the herat of the team to support Carrick.....the midfield is greatly lacking, and I know we have all been saying that for about 3 years , but Sir appears to be deaf to our cry, isn't it so obviously clear. Please Sir -hope the penny has finally dropped.
You can have all the world class strikers in the universe but if you don't have a decent midfield to feed them then what's the use. Sir please put away your principles and spend the dosh and BUY some decent midfielders. Gosh!
Shall I repeat what we've all been saying for the last 3 years......United are badly lacking in midfield. Sir Alex please get it sorted.
when god was giving out BRAINS rooney thought he said TRAINS and asked for a big slow one,,ha ha
city are the true champs, the manures only have it with the refs and fa help , at least 20 points given them by their refs ,why do you think everybody hates you, they can see what happens, only foreigners support you and the welsh ba ba's
wait if we carnt beat the top 3 teams lol think people forgettn utd beat city on ur own turf yes you just beat us on yours so thts 1-1 this season
Steven think you should avoid the word LUCK when taking about pts in the P.Lge.
No sense l.up Fergie AGAIN Welbeck is no winger Young has not played more than 5 games for unfit reasons why was he chosen? Rooney lost it , Carrick seemed asleep. and all the others seemed careless to put it mildly. So now we lost against Real after leading away then lost at home bye bye C.lge. Same thing against chesea but even worse and out of the F.A Cup Now the game we should have made sure to win at home was the worst result this year Fergie think you need a recharge or a ............. wot a mess you put the team in Think that leading the P.Lge is plain luck hope it won't slip away too cos that WILL be an alltime record.
Oh Colin break the bank for Bale, bring back Ronaldo? but Utd don't buy success, ho, ho, ho. Tom, know one cares about American sports? I think your owners may be spending a bit of your Carrington cash on more than Salford Red Sox. And as for your 12 points, well that is true but your predicted 18 point gap also looks rather silly, how moronic are you, ha, ha, ha.
Flood warning !!! no it was the tears from uniturd fans after L OOOOOSING
#500 / Ed P "Winning the league only implies most consistent team, not best."" - This is one of most ridiculous and stupid statements I've read in my entire life. The best team IS the most consistent team you fool. No one cares about American sports - it's totally irrelevant to this matter. The BEST team are at the top of the league. The table doesn't lie - especially when there are currently TWELVE points in between 1st and 2nd place. How moronic you are.
"Man United cannot beat any top descent team" Man City 2-3 Man United, Chelsea 2-3 Man United. we won both away games against the 2nd and 3rd teams of the premier league, arguably the 2 most hard fixtures of our season.
"Man United cannot beat any top descent team"
As a United fan im slightly annoyed about loosing to the noisy neighbours again , it has been a fortuatus season and well carry on and lift the 20th title , But we must invest money this year some of this money for renaming Carrington!! , out with Wellbeck Young neither United quality and cant understand why Fergie picks them Wellbeck is a runner and cant pick a pass because his eyes are always watching the ball cant look up sh$$e Young since he came may have had a handfully of decent games, withdraw Rooney to midfield buy a stricker to partner Van Persie bring Ronaldo home break the bank for Bale job done
Last time out, Fergie cited Valencia as our only player offering his potential, so as reward for his efforts he dropped him. Danny Wellbeck for all his enthusiasm and skill on the ball, struggles to fit into the team. The night should have seen Kagawa start too. Only consolation on the night was Thatcher not getting her minutes silence. What are the papers banging on about?
lOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!!!!!
loser always hate..
Manchester united are very weak,they are luck 12 points clear,if not a repeat of last year would have happened.against mancity yesterday they only player who did well although couldnt handle aguro is jones,he did well,van persie is a goal shy player now,hmm ronney is nothing but fat lazy player,if im the coach i will sell him alongside rio,retire gibs,sell anderson,retire schols,and resuffle the team with 4 more signing ,2 solid midfielders, 2 solid defenders,2 solid attackers,if not i bet,it will not be easy with city,and against chelsea,i bet they will win us at old traford like city did.
This is proof that you can't beat an itchy scalp.
