Video Report: Manchester United V Manchester City 2-0, Title Race Nearly Over

Hughes was wary of the Portuguese marksman’s set-piece shooting that he spent last week trying to devise training exercises that would enable his goalkeepers to prepare for it. However his efforts were futile. Ronaldo's scored his 26th goal of the season from a stationary free kick.

Tevez scored the second goal on the 45th minute to put the result beyond doubt and earned Man Utd all three points.
