Last Gasp Victory ...

Man Utd 1 v 0 Sunderland

Nemanja Vidic scored in injury time to hand Manchester United a victory against managerless Sunderland.

The Wearsiders looked set to earn a stunning point after a resolute defensive effort until defender Vidic tapped in after Michael Carrick had hit the post. Sunderland keeper Marton Fulop was in inspired form and United missed a string of chances as they dominated throughout.

The three points will come as huge relief to Sir Alex Ferguson, who watched on from the stands as he completed his touchline ban. He will have looked on for much of it in utter frustration as Sunderland came with damage limitation in mind after a week in which they lost manager Roy Keane. (Source: BBC Sport)
