Manchester City 0 - 1 Manchester United

comment on the article

Manchester United moved to within touching distance of the Premiership title after Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty gave them victory at Manchester City.

Ronaldo scored in the 34th minute after he was fouled by Michael Ball - who had earlier stamped viciously on the star.

City wasted their best chance when Edwin van der Sar saved Darius Vassell's penalty 11 minutes from time after Wes Brown fouled Ball.

Chelsea must now win at Arsenal on Sunday to keep the title race alive.

Give your thoughts on the match. Is the title race over?

Anyone could see that Michael Ball lost his balance, and in trying to avoid putting his foot in Ronaldo's big mouth, accidentaly trod on his stomach. Ronado should have been booked for crying and trying to get another player sent off.

A typical reaction from a small minded City fan. Mind you, I have yet to meet one who isn't small minded and doesn't have a chip on their shoulder. Let's face it, United won the title playing the best football this season. There is no argument there.

I hope City get relegated next season - good riddance!

Hats off to Chelsea for a great challenge too. I though the second half vs Arsenal was a real credit to the team and the manager. Arsenal played like French surrender monkeys but I could not expect anything else!

Here's to the FA Cup final and to next season...!

The great age-old Manchester rivalry.

As an Arsenal fan, I'll just happily sit on the fence and watch the mud-slinging commence if that's OK with you all! ok

Hilarious! laugh

That team of the year was pfffft! How did 8 Man u players get in it? Really even you's can admit that Lampard should have been in there, you can right through the prem and pick loadsa players who should have got in there ahead of at least 4 of the man u players! Even look at the opta & player ratings!!

Disgusting conduct - 3 match ban. What a farce - no place for that on a football pitch.

City need to face that theya re playing 2nd fiddle to Utd. You can't take it away form them, they've been superb this season.

Congrats on the title Fergie and the lads.

it should only have been a one match ban, as it was Christine 'cry baby' Ronaldo who was trodden on. Good to see Barton has been arrested, lets hope the thug goes inside for a few months.

Can someone explain to the Man Utd team,both in this match and there last 3 matches that in order to score goals,one must have shots,cos i really think they have forgotten this fundamental basic of football,they seem to be more interested in passing the ball around
