Manchester City Vs. Manchester United, 2012 Premier League: Toure Shoots Wide

Yaya Toure tries to secure the points for the home side, cutting through the United defence with aplomb before setting himself for a shot which fizzes juuuuust wide of David de Gea's goal. I don't remember a single save made in this match, incidentally - there just haven't been too many chances, and those that have appeared have been spurned (mostly by Sergio Aguero).

Samir Nasri attempts to run down the clock near the corner flag. With six minutes plus injury time left, Rio Ferdinand is rather bemused by this and eventually hacks clear after making a series of increasingly funny expressions as he chases the ball around.

Anyway, Ashley Young is on for United, with Nani off. What are the odds that he'll dive to win a very late penalty? It's got to happen, right?
