71 mins: United have a chance! Van Persie spins away from Demichelis on the right, cuts into the penalty area and then shoots, low and hard, from an optimistic angle. Hart saves.

73 mins: United attack again, but Hart runs from his line to beat the onrushing forward to Fellaini’s through-ball.

Simon_Burnton This has to be one of the worst referring performances I have ever seen. Agree?

Not really. The game started brightly, thanks in no small part to Michael Oliver’s attempts to let it flow, and refusal to wave cards unnecessarily. He hasn’t missed much. Sadly, most of what he has missed has been penalties but for at least one of those (the first) replays showed his view blocked by other players, and to my mind that was by some way the clearest of the three.

77 mins: United double-chance! Rooney tricks his way into the penalty area but doesn’t have space for a shot, checks inside and runs into Demichelis. He asks for a penalty, but meanwhile the ball is rolled to Di Maria, whose low, hard cross-shot is well stopped.

75 mins: City hits the post! Navas takes on Shaw, sprints into the area, sprints a little further into the area, and then when he’s nearly out of area to sprint into he hits the ball against the post.

78 mins: Another United chance! A free-kick from deep finds Fellaini, eight yards out, who has run away from his marker and should just have headed in! Instead he missed the ball with his head, it hit his shoulder and bounced nowhere helpful.
 
I'm very proud of the team performance...I can really see the rebuilding project is working...
 
81 mins: “I’m a referee, and was in an education session a few years ago where this kind of situation was discussed,” writes Colman O’Meara of Smalling’s first booking. “We were instructed that a caution is required, as blocking a keeper in this way comes under “acts in a manner which shows a lack of respect for the game.” - pg 123 of Laws of the Game.” So there you go.

80 mins: United win a free kick, 30 yards out, for which Fernando gets a booking. Di María sends it into orbit.

82 mins: City, clearly, have ceased rampaging. United are sensing vague possibility, and bring on James Wilson in place of Van Persie. “I don’t think he got anything right in the first half except Smalling’s two yellows,” counters Randal Smathers. “Either the Blind and the sweeping out of Van Persie a moment or two later are both yellow or neither [yes, that was a bit off – ed]; Clichy took three tries to haul down Januzaj on a break but no card, Hart gave Oliver a headbutt, and the Fellaini kick was a clear pen. Other than that, Oliver did great.”
 
Hawa Shitty kweli ni minnows...uwanja wao ujaa pale tu wanapocheza na United...
 
Kama sio ujinga wa Smalling leo Man City alikua amekaa kwake
 
Fellaini kwa kweli amewaziba midomo wale waliokuwa wanambeza...
 
85 mins: United continue to exert pressure, with Rooney playing particularly well at present. They have a corner.

84 mins: City take Agüero off, and bring Fernandinho on. The goalscorer seems a bit miffed about this development, and trudges down the tunnel, muttering.
