Manchester United snatched a last-gasp victory against local rivals Manchester City at Eastlands.
Veteran midfielder Paul Scholes, who had just signed a one-year contract extension at Old Trafford, headed a dramatic winner three minutes into stoppage-time.
He cleverly steered in a cross by Patrice Evra to keep alive United's Barclays Premier League title hopes.
It was Scholes' 101st Premier League goal and it was enough to cut the gap on leaders Chelsea to just one point. It also hit City's hopes of claiming the final Champions League place.
Returning striker Wayne Rooney went close for United with a shot narrowly off target in the first half. Ryan Giggs had a close range effort saved and Carlos Tevez had a long-range free-kick well held in a match of few clear openings.
