Premier League 17/04/2010
Manchester United closed to within 1 point of league leaders Chelsea after beating Manchester City at Eastlands.
Paul Scholes had a brilliant afternoon and sealed victory with a powerful header past City Keeper Shay Given into the bottom corner of the net in the 93rd minutes with just 17 seconds remaining on the clock.
The game proved to be a typical derby with very little to choose between the two sides. At times, the game was tense with neither side creating many clear cut chances.
However, United veteran Paul Scholes who has just signed a new 1 year contract, controlled the midfield and it was fitting that he should provide the late, late winner.
