Manchester United 2 - 0 Chelsea

• 90

  There is the final whistle and you feel Avram Grant will be glad the game is over but he will be pleased with his side's efforts and although United dominated for long periods the visitors did threaten on occasions.

• 90

  Saha is in again as Scholes plays it over the top and he flashes a half-volley just wide of Cech's post but Rooney was screaming for a cross.

• 90

  The home crowd are enjoying this now and so are the United players and despite all Chelsea's valiant efforts it all appears to be in vain.

• 89

  Saha finds the back of the net, albeit through the legs of a diving Cech who almost got enough on that but United lead 2-0 and it really is game over now.

• 89

  Louis Saha makes a meal of a tackle from Ben-Haim and there didn't look to be much contact but the Israeli is not complaining and United have a penalty.

• 88

  United are sitting back now and letting Chelsea have the ball but that could be a dangerous tactic as all it takes is one moment of magic from a Chelsea boot to draw this level.

• 85

  Pizarro manufactures himself half a chance as he beats Wes Brown and tries to smash one goalwards from 25 yards but he scuffs it wide.

• 84

  Superb handling from Cech as Ronaldo blasts a free-kick through the wall and the keeper did well to hold on with Scholes and Rooney charging in.

• 83

  The cards are flying now as John Terry is booked for a tackle on Rooney and that one did look very harsh.

• 82

  More trademark wing play from Ronaldo as he picks the ball up in his own half and within seconds has beaten Cole and Essien to win a corner off Terry.

• 80

  Wes Brown is booked possibly a bit harshly but the game had started to get a bit edgy and tackles were beginning to fly.

• 79

  Carlos Tevez has done really well today and got his first goal and he exits to a standing ovation to be replaced by Louis Saha.

• 78

  Paulo Ferreira is not renowned for his defending but he does superbly here to stop Ronaldo as the mercurial winger looked like making it 2-0.

• 76

  Claudio Pizarro is on now to replace Joe Cole who was perhaps starting to get in danger of a second booking.

• 76

  Chelsea are starting to come out a lot more now and although they are yet to create a meaningful chance they do look more dangerous.

• 73

  Joe Cole has picked up a yellow card for a rash challenge from behind on an advancing Ronaldo.

• 72

  Mike Dean has a word with Rooney now as he goes in a little strong on Ashley Cole - who needed no invitation to go down - but Rooney was running a needless risk there.

• 70

  The United fans are not happy as Chelsea have not gicen them the ball back once the referee had stopped the game for Rooney's injury.

• 69

  Shaun Wright-Phillips has had a fantastic start to the season and he is now going to come on for Chelsea in place of Florent Malouda.

• 69

  Rooney is down in the area but he is fine, just a flicks in the back of the head by a passing Petr Cech fist as they challenged for a looping ball.

• 68

  Kalou causing a couple of problems for the United defence as he runs at Evra and Vidic but is eventually dispossessed by Ferdinand's outstretched leg.

• 64

  Carrick is really pulling some strings in the midfield in the second half and he again feeds Giggs on the left and he finds Tevez whose header almost ends up with Rooney but Chelsea clear.

• 62

  The home fans are begging Carrick and Scholes to shoot but both pass the ball on and Rooney eventually has a go but it is easy for Cech to gather.

• 61

  Wayne Rooney chases Ashley Cole down the line and the full-back goes down and Rooney is booked for dissent in the aftermath.

• 59

  Shevchenko has worked hard today but has had no service really and Salomon Kalou will replace him to add some pace to the attack.

• 58

  Carrick with a quite beautiful ball angled from left-to-right and Giggs comes in on it but can't keep the volley down.

• 56

  It is a free-kick now in a dangerous position for United and there are a number of candidates with their eye on it and Tevez gets the nod but rather wastes it.

• 53

  The tempo of the game has really slowed down since the goal and United are enjoying plenty of possession and at the moment it is very much a case of attack versus defence.

• 48

  The main thing that the goal does do is enable United to pass the ball around and not search or try to force a goal from risky positions.

• 46

  A crucial 45 minutes arguably in the seasons of each of these two teams is underway and it will be intriguing to see how each react to that late goal.

• 45

  Late drama as Tevez puts the Red Devils in front and it is harsh on Chelsea as they had defended superbly until that point, especially with 10-men and they will still believe they can get something from this.

• 45

  Carlos Tevez has his first United goal as he dives in to diverts Giggs' superb cross past Cech and into the net. 1-0 Manchester United.

• 44

  It is raining In Manchester and the playing surface is slick and slippery and the ball will be a nightmare for goalkeepers.

• 42

  Giggs with a superb first time ball over the top releases Rooney into the corner and he tries to find Carrick at the near-post and Cech again makes a good stop.

• 39

  Vidic is always a danger in the opposition area and he shows it again as he rises to meet Giggs' free-kick and Cech makes another good save.

• 37

  If Chelsea were not under the cosh already then they almost certainly will be now but they may also gain the siege mentality of a team who feel they have been hard-done by.

• 34

  That has got the crowd right into the game and the home support are even more up for this than they were before.

• 32

  John Obi Mikel has been sent off for a needless two-footed lunge on Patrice Evra and although it was possibly a bit harsh he can have no real complaints.

• 30

  Essien gives it away in a dangerous position to Rooney this time and he immediately looks for Giggs back post who steers the ball just over, and Cech is giving Essien and earful for that one.

• 28

  Tevez looks much brighter today and tries his luck from range and Cech is called into action once again and despite a fumble he gathers pretty easily.

• 27

  United are appealing for a penalty again as Joe Cole is accused of handling the ball but that would have been very harsh.

• 25

  Essien just passes a free-kick to Giggs who finds Tevez and its two-on-two but the ball to Rooney is not quite right and its only a corner in the end as Rooney's shot is deflected wide.

• 24

  Ronaldo with sublime skill evades Malouda and Mikel then Rooney tries to backheel the ball for Tevez when perhaps he could have had a shot.

• 21

  A really good opening 20minutes at Old Trafford that United have enjoyed the better of but Chelsea have started to come into the game lately.

• 18

  United want a penalty as Evra runs in behind Joe Cole and the England man slides in and you have certainly seen them given before but Mike Dean may have got it right.

• 15

  Chelsea have 4 on 3 here as Shevchenko escapes Vidic and Evra now Essien has it but he can't find malouda who was free on the left edge of the box.

• 13

  An update on Rio Ferdinand and he appears to be okay and not having any problems with that knock he received earlier.

• 10

  Ronaldo breaks in trademark fashion down the right and looks to find Rooney but Ashley Cole gets anough of a deflection on it to take it away from Rooney.

• 9

  United struggle to clear and the ball falls to Shevchenko on the corner of the box and he tries a snap shot that Van Der Sar is scrambling for but it was always fading high and wide.

• 8

  Chelsea have finally managed to get their foot on the ball and are just looking to pass the ball around for a bit and take the sting out of the game.

• 6

  Rio Ferdinand is down and looks like he pulled his groin possibly as he tried to nick the ball away from in front of Shevchenko but he is up and might be looking to run it off.

• 4

  United look like the team of last season early on and Rooney drifts to the left and crosses for Carrick who flicks the header goalwards and Cech makes a comfortable stop this time.

• 2

  Only a superb save from Cech denies Rooney a truly world class goal and United have another corner and they really are up for this.

• 1

  United have started strongly and their passing looks quick and accurate and they win a corner that Giggs puts in and Ronaldo can't quite get his head to it.

• 0

  Mike Dean is this evening's referee and he gets things underway at the Theatre of Dreams and it will certainly be interesting to see how the Chelsea players react after what has been a tough week for them.
