No need! The whistle goes before the free-kick can be taken and United hold on to extend their lead atop the Premier League table to 10 points for at least a couple of hours!

Agger fouls van Persie on the wing and is booked. This should be United's chance to burn the final seconds.
90+3'
RVP does really well to keep the ball alive on the Liverpool byline but cannot pull it back for Welbeck.
90+2'
Borini and Suarez get in each other's way allowing a lumpy ball forward to go straight back to De Gea.

Four minutes of added time. VAN PERSIE TRIES ANOTHER BACKHEEL FLICK! Held well by Reina at the far post. The man is shameless.
90'
Liverpool take a centre-circle free-kick quickly but Sturridge fires off-target.
89'
Johnson has a shot closed down before Gerrard needlessly fouls. End of this wave of pressure.
88'
Sturridge and Suarez each hold the ball in the area but cannot turn for a shot.
87'
70% possession of the last 10 minutes for the away side. United really sitting back and it could cost them. Between that and Sturridge's inclusion, Pool have given a greater account of themselves in this half.
86'
Johnson trips Valencia rugby-style, and the sub is furious. It not only ends the pressure but the right-back is on a yellow... but he gets away with a final warning. That would surely have been a yellow if he wasn't facing an early bath. Bit of a bottlling by Webb.

Still not clear and Sturridge strikes! Just over!
84'
Suarez almost steals an opportunity for a leveller! Complacency at the back allows him to sneak into possession in the area, but he takes too long to either shoot or square the ball!
82'
That corner/goal kick controversy has a few of you talking. @silvas_eyes21: "Funny how everything is to United's advantage isn't it?" @kosta96: "Congrats to Howard Webb for an amazing performance for United yet again!!" and @arnold_layne: "same conspiracy therorists that made no comment when suarez scored a goal by handball ?" - keep em coming via Twitter @liamhappe
81'
Welbeck bursts down the left flank after a nice give-and-go with van Persie, but stumbles at the byline and lets the ball run out for a goal kick whilst landing on his backside. He saw the funny side, at least.
80'

Liverpool conclude the changes with their own third switch moments later as Allen ends a tough shift by coming off for Jordan Henderson.
79'

Vidic, who is being credited for the second goal now, makes way for Chris Smalling in a like-for-like. Precautionary move after that head clash earlier.
78'
And it's going to be a quick-fire double change, United about to make their third and final sub.

And in an effort to help slow the game down further, Ferguson withdraws Kagawa and brings on Phil Jones.
