HT
 Chris Foy brings an exciting first period to an end. Chances for both teams, but it is United who lead at the break.
44'
 Terrific saving header from Patrice Evra. Malouda came inside onto his right foot and lofted the ball to the far post where Lampard was lurking. The French defender denied him with a great header, and Foster claimed the resulting corner.
42'
 Back come United. Evra forces a corner after a lung-bursting run, then Fletcher takes the kick short and curls one bound for the top corner only to see Cech claw the ball over.
39'
 Anelka again, this time with his left foot, shoots narrowly wide of Foster's goal. Chelsea are coming back into the game having gone behind to a strong start from the Premier League Champions.
35'
 Nicolas Anelka cuts in from the left flank and fires a shot that deflects wide for a corner. Chelsea go close from the resulting set play, but John Terry is adjudged to have climbed over Evans.
34'
 Nani has grown in confidence since opening the scoring and skips past three Chelsea defenders before running out of pitch and shooting into the side netting. End-to-end stuff now.
32'
 Drogba forces a block from Ben Foster and Chelsea sniff a chance, only for Evans and Carrick to tidy things up for United.
30'
 Fine work from Malouda on the left and Ashley Cole's looping cross is met by Essien who heads high over the bar.

 Florent Malouda volleys wide from a tight angle, after United had failed to clear a John Obi-Mikel chip into the box.
16'
 Cech makes a good save from close range to deny Ji-Sung Park after Wayne Rooney had headed Berbatov's cross from the right back across goal. Chelsea then broke to the other end where Drogba's angled shot was well saved by Foster. United then broke back to the other end and Park was unfortunate not to score again, with Cech out quickly to smother his effort.
13'
Yellow cardBranislav Ivanovic.

Goal scoredLuis Nani. United take the lead, after Nani cuts in from the left and strikes a low shot at goal which beats Petr Cech's despairing dive and rockets into the net.

04'
Yellow cardDimitar Berbatov.
