Berbatov with a great chance! Giggs' shot takes a deflection off Ryan Shawcross on the edge of the box and the ball falls to the Bulgarian, but he shoots inches wide at the back post. He should have scored.
21'
Chris Smalling and Nemanja Vidic have looked comfortable so far in defence for the home side.
