Soon the United fans have something to cheer about, as in the 16th minute Giggs gives their side the lead with a toe poke from one yard out following a cross from Antonio Valencia on the right

Five minutes before half time, Craig Bellamy bursts down the left but is tugged back by Rafael well outside the box but the City striker continues into the box before going down. To United's horror the referee, Mike Dean, gives a penalty, and their players let him know what they think of the decision

After being the poor relation to United for many years, City are now owned by some very rich people indeed and their fans take great pleasure in taunting their debt-ridden neighbours

Midway through the second half a corner's swung in from the left which Van der Sar punches clear to the edge of the area. Zabaleta cleverly heads it back into the area, the ball drifting to the right where Kompany is the only man awake, and he loops the ball into the centre. Tevez can't miss with a header from two yards

Wayne Rooney is denied by Shay Given yet again, this time the City keeper, who had an outstanding game, pushing his shot over the bar

If it's not Shay Given denying United, it's their defenders. Substitute Michael Owen had this shot from the edge of the area cleared off the line

Late in the game, United get a gilt edged chance to equalise but Antonio Valencia blazes the ball high and wide from less than a yard out. His blushes were saved by the linesman who flagged him offside anyway
