Nani stood over a free kick stemming from a late Younes Kaboul foul on Chicharito and placed a beautiful cross into the box that found the head of United center back Nemanja Vidic. Vidic headed easily past Heurelho Gomes to give the home side the lead in the 31st minute.

A game with enough quality on both sides has ebbed and flowed while before the goal, players on either side hit the respective goal posts. Rafael van der Vaart came closest for Spurs with a shot just outside the box which beat Edwin van der Sar easily but couldn’t find it’s way past the post while Park Ji Sung came close for United in the game’s opening two minutes.
Luka Modric next had his chance for Spurs but was this time denied by van der Sar himself as the now 40 year old keeper produced the save of the match when he dove to his left to deny the Croatian the equalizer. As the match approaches the half, Dimitar Berbatov has tested Gomes while the end to end action continues.
