25'
Giggs strikes the free-kick, which hits the wall and spins out for a throw.
24'
Another United free-kick 35 yards from goal, this time for a foul on Scholes. Rooney grabs the ball...

Fraizer Campbell slides late into Evra, and that's a nasty one. Howard Webb settles for a yellow crad, but it might have been red.
22'
The news of United's goal has reached the Etihad Stadium (they have radios, iPhones, everything, the flash Harrys). Some nails being chewed.

As things stand, Manchester United are top of the Premier League! And they have some hopeless Sunderland defending to thank for it...

GOAL!! Wayne Rooney gives Manchester United the lead! Jones crosses from the right under no pressure, Bramble and Turner both let the diagonal ball bounce and Rooney nods it in at the far post!
20'
Neat, Barca-style build-up from United with lots of triangles...
19'
Over at the Etihad Stadium, Joey Barton is down after a collision with Gareth 'Teacher's Pet' Barry. Looked accidental, but Barton is milking it.

Giggs stands the corner up for the arriving Jones, who flies in and heads over! Mignolet was nowhere and that goes down as a chance for United.
17'
Giggs clips the ball into the box and, under little pressure, Bramble heads behind for a corner.
16'
Campbell dispossesses Young down the United left and hoofs a long ball away.
15'
Lots of possession for United, whose away fans are in defiant voice.
14'
More goals at the Emirates, and the battle for 3rd/4th/5th is looking very interesting. Also a goal at Stoke - which could have an indirect effect on the title race. They are one up against Bolton.
13'
It has been a largely positive start for United, though they have not seriously tested Simon Mignolet in the Sunderland goal.
12'
Giggs delivers a corner from the United right that is headed clear as far as Young, who bends it into the box... and Mignolet holds.
11'
Valencia gets the better of O'Shea and gets a looping cross in... headed half-clear, but with Evra and his cross is put behind for a corner.
10'
Lots of possession for the visitors. Young spreads a good ball out to Valencia on the right, but his control is poor.
9'
Low cross from Valencia, parried half-clear by Mignolet but the ball comes to a striped shirt. Valencia beat O'Shea there and will be a key player down the right.
8'
United let Sessegnon run... but the Sunderland man plays it square to Gardner instead of going for goal.
7'
David Vaughan tries a long-range shot that is pretty much straight at De Gea, who makes a decent catch.
6'
Jones plays a los cross in from the right, but Turner cuts it out before it reaches Rooney.
