90+4'

FULL-TIME: Manchester United come through for another victory. It was rarely pretty on a muddy Old Trafford pitch, but they got the job done, and Robin Van Persie came on to finish it off. Thanks for joining us.

90+3'

Check in on those results as they come in across the Premier League.

90+2'

Robin van Persie scored his 27th Premier League goal of 2012, and 14th in the division this season to become outright top scorer. (Infostrada)

90+1'

It will look good on the scoresheet, but this has not been an easy afternoon for Manchester United.

90'

RVP MAKES IT TWO! Left-footed strike from just outside the area simply too good for Foster - a moment of class finally settles those nerves.

89'

WELBECK SO CLOSE! What a save from Foster, who denies a placed finish from the striker. Four minutes of stoppages to play.

88'

Ferguson spotted holding on to the ball for an awful long time on the touchline as it breaks his way. Not time-wasting, surely?

87'

Speculative hit from Odemwingie, but only just wide of the far post. Not miles away from a little deflection via Lukaku either.

86'

Still WBA have had more second-half possession than United (51-49). Still this game not put to bed.

85'

Great challenge from McAuley! It looked as if RVP had played Welbeck in for an almost-certain goal - McAuley kept his head to intercept on the stretch.

84'

Spotted: Ferguson smiling on the touchline. That makes a bit of a change after some of this week's reactions...

83'

A change for each side - Dorrans replaced by Fortune, Scholes on for Cleverley.

82'

VAN PERSIE! So close after Evra's pass through. Tamas a bit slow to react, but Foster wasn't - he makes a good stop.

81'

United still on track to win this one and stay seven points clear at the top, but they're not doing it in style.

80'

Welbeck tries to skim around Tamas with a long first touch - and then goes down as he races for the ball - no foul given.

79'

Dorrans spins his way out into a little space, but just as he gets ready to shoot Evans is all over him again. He's been busy, Evans, even if he's been caught out on occasion.

78'

Young with half a chance from a tight angle on the left - Foster grabs on.

77'

Ridgewell clatters into Van Persie who winces and rubs his knee after that tackle. He looks as if he's alright, though.
