Ooof, that's very close by Dimitar Berbatov twice inside a minute. Instead of having given Manchester United the lead, however, the enigmatic striker has missed two clean chances and injured his ankle to boot. His first opportunity came after being slipped in behind the defence by a clever pass from Park Ji-Sung, but Pablo Zabeleta was able to cover and provide just enough pressure to let Joe Hart come out and make a good stop.

United weren’t done there, however. The ball popped out to Nani on the left wing, and the Portuguese - apparently all recovered from that Nigel de Jong kick of a few minutes ago - worked his way into the area before sending in fizzing low cross that Berbatov was first to. The Bulgarian slid in but got tangled up in his Aleksandar Kolarov’s feet, sending the ball flying over the crossbar from three yards out and simultaneously twisting his ankle in the process. He should be ok to continue, however. It’s all United right now, though.
