48 min: Jan Vertonghen concedes a corner kick, which Juan Mata takes. He swings the ball towards the near post, where Michael Carrick sends the ball over the bar courtesy of a looping header that takes deflection off Vertonghen. Another corner on the other side, which Rooney takes. He sends the ball into mixer, where Hugo Lloris claims it comfortably.

47 min: Scrappy play in the centre of the pitch, with both sides winning possession then giving it away repeatedly. Eriksen gets his foot on the ball, only to be dispossessed by Jonny Evans.

And we're off for the second half ...

Spurs get the ball rolling. Rafael has indeed replaced Antonio Valencia on the right of Manchester United’s midfield. Valencia is apparently suffering from a knock.

Sorry, I’m talking cobblers. Phil Jones is of course already in the heart of the three-man central defence that I’m clearly having as much trouble getting used to as Manchester United’s players. Rafael on for Valencia, perhaps? We’ll see ...

Hmmm. Looking at that Harry Kane chance from earlier, I think he should have done better. Ashley Young sent in an inch-perfect first half, Paddy McNair was all over the place and allowed the Spurs striker a free header, which he missed completely. It being Christmas, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest the low sun may have got in his eyes and impaired his vision. Ominously for McNair, who hasn’t played particularly well, Rafael is warming up at half-time. He may come on at full-back, allowing Phil Jones to move into the centre of defence in place of the youngster from Northern Ireland.
 
54 min: Harry Kane goes to ground in the penalty area and the Tottenham 35,000 appeal for a penalty. McNair had charged towards the striker, but didn’t tackle or even touch him.
 
Kucheza na timu inayotafuta sare ni shida sana. Hupati nafasi ya kucheza mpira. Watu nane wako golini wanalinda katika uwanja usio mpana kama huu, ni vurugu tupu.

63 min: Spurs have played a lot better in this second half than they did in the first, but have created little in the way of scoring opportunities. Strombouli, who is on a yellow card already, fouls Phil Jones and concedes a free-kick.

61 min: Ben Davies blocks Radamel Falcao as the Colombian attempts to get past him, but also avoids a yellow card for a fairly cynical bit of defending.

59 min: Vertonghen is shoved by Robin van Persie, who is unlucky to escape a yellow card, which would have ruled him out of Manchester United’s next game. After today’s round of Premier League games, there’s a yellow card amnesty for all those players currently walking the four-card tightrope.

59 min: Mason plays the ball wide to Chiriches from midfield and he then picks out Townsend on the right flank. He cuts inside and tries his luck, but his shot is blocked.

56 min: Ashley Young looks incredulous after being penalised for a foul throw. He had the ball between his hands over his head in the traditional style, but managed to lose his grip and drop it to the ground from one hand as he dithered over where to throw it. It’s a fair cop.
 
66 min: Andros Townsend pounces on a breaking ball about 30 yards out, drives forward and unleashes a rasping, dipping shot. David de Gea is forced into action and saves well, diving low to his left.

64 min: “It’s getting quite attritional out there,” says BT Sport commentator Ian Darke, with whom I’m not about to disagree. It is attritional and increasingly scrappy, we could do with a goal.
 
68 min: Juan Mata sends the ball into outer space from about six yards out after getting on the end of a pulled back cross from Radamel Falcao. He really lashed at that one, when a bit more nuance or finesse might have served him better.
 
70 min: Not for the first time in this match, Jonny Evans slices an attempted clearance into Row Z, earning himself a big cheer from the Spurs fans.
 
Mata mipira kama ile huwa inamshinda sana kumaliza. Ile mwenyewe ni Rooney tu, huwa hakosei anapopata pasi katika eneo lile.

71 min: Ooh! Ashley Young and Andros Townsend tussle as the latter attempts to sprint clear of his marker to chase a through-ball. Townsend goes to ground and it looks like Young, who is on a yellow card, might get sent off. Referee Jon Moss is having none of it, much to Townsend’s disgust. Was it a foul? I thought so, but I’d need to see a replay to be sure.
 
72 min: David de Gea is forced to save from Fazio, shortly after Paddy McNair had been booked for a foul on Harry Kane. Manchester United substitution: Chris Smalling on for Ashley Young. He takes up position on the left of the back three.
 
Wakati Mata anashikwa refa hakuona, ila aliporudishia ndio refa kaona. Mpuuzi sana huyu refa.
