MANCHESTER CITY v MANCHESTER UNITED, 0-1


Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrated his resilience to inspire Manchester United to a derby victory which leaves them on the brink of clinching the Barclays Premiership title.

The Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year was the centre of attention as early as the third minute when he was left needing treatment after a stamp from Michael Ball.

The City full-back escaped punishment as the incident occurred outside of referee Rob Styles' eyeline, but Ronaldo exacted a fitting punishment when he drew a foul from the same player to earn the penalty from which he scored the only goal.

Ball later won a spot-kick at the other end but Darius Vassell was denied by Edwin van der Sar as City drew yet another blank to pick up an unwanted record for the fewest home goals - 10 - in a Premie League season.
