Highlights

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match from 00:01 on Tuesday morning (UK only).

90+3'

There goes the final whistle! All over! A convincing performance in the second half from United, who claim their second successive win in the league. They are top of the table.

89'

Three minutes to be added. Defoe booked for a late one on De Gea in going for a rebound after the keeper dropped the ball again from Huddlestone's swerving shot. He has been unconvincing in handling the ball.

88'

22 years now since Spurs last won at Old Trafford. Looked good at half-time, but the second half has been a real disappointment for the visitors.

87'

Park trying to get in on the act, but he doesn't get hold of the shot as Friedel saves. Spurs waiting for this whistle now.

86'

GOAL!! A 149th goal from Rooney for United as he nods home the cross from Giggs! All too easy. Game, set and match.

85'

United fans in a party mood now. They would dearly love a third, but as things stand they will be level on points at the top with Man City and Wolves.

84'

Van der Vaart has a dig from distance, but De Gea races across his line to nudge the ball behind the goal. Decent stop.

83'

Friedel forced to look alert to race from his line to grab the ball at the feet of Rooney. Swift movement from the big keeper, who has been blameless for the goals.

82'

Lovely cross there from Nani. Spurs have fallen right out of this game in the second half. A worrying collapse really when you look at how well they played for the first 55 minutes.

81'

Almost the third as Rooney somehow lifts a ball over the bar from only five yards out. That looked a certain goal.

80'

Ferguson looks like he has won the league as his side attempt to see out time. Has been a fine opening night at home by the champions.

79'

Giggs, Hernandez and Park on, Welbeck, Cleverley and Young off. A standing ovation for Welbeck after his contribution.

78'

Spurs so close to being right back in this game. United going to make a few changes of their own for this final 10 minutes. Spurs have used their subs for the night.

77'

Another mistake by De Gea coming for a cross! Ball breaks to Defoe, but he rattles a post before United clear. A real let-off for the young Spanish keeper.

76'

Welbeck is right in the mood now. Great run by Nani as United broke, but that is a fine diving stop by Friedel. Spurs getting overrun in the second half.

75'

GOAL!! Anderson slips the ball into the net for United's second of the night. Backheel from Welbeck and Anderson pounced to net. No chance for Friedel.

74'

Frantic piece of defending there by United as Bale broke. Pavlyuchenko was waiting in the middle, but the Welsh wingback could not pick him out.

73'

Changes for Spurs as Roman Pavlyuchenko replaces Kranjcar while Huddlestone takes over from Livermore.

72'

Corluka forced to twist and turn before the tackle on Young brings an 11th corner of the night, but Nani's ball is picked out the air by Friedel. Poor corner.
