45+1'
MCGINN CLATTERS DALOT
And somehow avoids a card. Then Bruno whacks the free-kick right at Olsen.
45'
BRUNO CURLS IN THE FREE-KICK
And Olsen punches clear. There'll be one additional minute prior to the blessed relief of half-time.
45'
MALACIA BATTLES HARD TO WIN THE BALL IN A CONTEST WITH RAMSEY
And eventually goes down, winning a free-kick out on the left touchline, just further forward than a line drawn from the edge of the box.

MAGUIRE IS IN ON WATKINS
Who receives a pass from Luiz and moves away. So Maguire catches him late and it's a foul - but he's also booked, which seems a bit harsh.
43'
BRUNO PLAYS A LOVELY BALL IN BEHIND
And Martial controls it well, but he's gone too soon and is offside.

MCTOMINAY, WHO'S ALREADY BEEN SUSPENDED THIS SEASON FOR ACCUMULATION OF BOOKINGS
Leaps into a bodycheck of Young. He's booked, again.
38'
UNITED WIN A FREE-KICK 30 OR SO YARDS OUT
Rashford fancies a dig, and rams it into the wall. That was as exciting a moment as the game has produced.
37'
CHAMBERS GIVES IT AWAY
Swinging a pass blind across his own box and picking out Rashford. He carries the ball across the face of the box seeking a shooting lane but can't find one, so goes back to McTominay, who goes wide to Fred ... whose cross loops behind. Awful behavior.
36'
THIS IS HORRIFIC
Both sides have changes to make it less so, but the managers would clearly prefer to keep the players rested resting.
35'
MCTOMINAY LAYS OFF TO LINDELOF
But backs into Kamara and catches him with a straight arm.
33'
VILLA WIN ANOTHER LEFT-WING CORNER
This one is headed out, and Young wellies a volley high and wide.
32'
ALMOST!
Douglas lLiz curls in a brilliant ball right under the bar, that McTominay does really well to head away - though had he not, I think Dubravka would've punched it out.

Dougla Luiz curls in a brilliant ball right under the bar, that McTominay does really well to head away - though had he not, I think Dubravka would've punched it out.
30'
VILLA WIN A CORNER DOWN THE LEFT
Can they make more of this than United have of theirs?
30'
UNITED ARE BADLY MISSING LISANDRO MARTINEZ
His passing makes such a difference, as does that of Casemiro.
28'
THIS IS THE WORST HALF OF FOOTBALL I'VE SEEN THIS SEASON
So far, I guess, but forgive me for not thinking it'll suddenly spring into life.
26'
FERNANDES HAS HAD ENOUGH OF BEING STUCK ON THE WING
He ventures into his left-interior pocks and flights a ball over the top for Rashford, but there's insufficient backspin on it, and Olsen comes to collect.
25'
ANYONE SEEN DONNY VAN DE BEEK?
He is absolute wallpaper.

RASHFORD COLLECTS A DECENT SWITCH
From McTominay, waits for Malacia to get around his outside, and the cross loops up for Dalot, who's header is deflected just over for a corner ... which again comes to nowt.
23'
ANYONE KNOW ANY JOKES?
OK, I've got one. What do you get if you cross a football team with an ice cream?
Aston Vanilla.

DOING THESE GAMES
We've to keep a list of key moments for use in our report. I've been doing them for a fair few years now, and don't think I've ever gone 2- minutes into a game without grabbing one.
