There's the final whistle, and Manchester United have gone back to the top of the Premier League - at least until Manchester City take on Arsenal later today.
90+2'
QPR have a free-kick on the right, just outside the area... Barton pulls it back and Giggs intercepts. United break and Young gets a shot away, but it is easy for Cerny.
90+1'
Into stoppage time, of which there will be three minutes.
90'
DJ Campbell claims he was pulled back in the area, but referee Webb is not interested.
89'
Ray Wilkins reveals he has a twitter impostor pretending to be him. Don't encourage them, Butch...
88'
Ah look, there's Tony Fernandes in the crowd. And he's tweeting about Adel Taarabt.
87'
Smalling's cross from the right finds Hernandez, whose header is off target.
86'
Jones flicks the ball past his man and is brought down. Was that a foul or just an accidental collision? Referee Webb opts for the latter interpretation.
85'
Nani plays a low cross in from the left... hacked to safety by Gabbidon.
84'
United look totally at ease. Rangers cannot get on the ball, and when they do they are rushing it forward and losing possession.
82'
Giggs is on the ball, having replaced Rooney. United are trying to reduce the tempo and sit on their two-goal lead by the look of it.
81'
Nani comes haring down the left, drifts inside and thinks about having a shot, but squares a disappointing pass for nobody at all.
80'
United pass the ball around at the back, looking to run a few more seconds off the clock. They looked very comfortable prior to that DJ Campbell, which might act as something of a wake-up call.
79'
Incidentally, apologies for not being more interactive on Twitter. Part two of my triple-header starts at five past two, and I've got a match report to churn out before then. So it's pretty busy. Many thanks for all your comments, though.
78'
QPR have Traore down injured, and he is receiving treatment.
76'
Smalling crosses from the right for Hernandez, but it is headed behind for a corner.

WHAT A MISS DJ CAMPBELL!! Taarabt teases in a brilliant ball from the right side of the box, Campbell sticks out a boot and somehow contrives to send the ball over from a couple of yards! How did he miss?
73'
QPR have faded a little in the second half, and a more ruthless performance from the visitors could have seen them go four or five goals clear.
