Masterclass disrupted by Bowyer
Lee Bowyer’s 90th-minute equaliser took the shine off another sublime contribution from Dimitar Berbatov and meant Manchester United’s return to the Premier League summit was not as emphatic as it might have been.
Bowyer’s late goal was not without a hint of controversy. Ferguson will complain about the apparent use of Nikola Zigic’s forearm in the build up and the fact that the former Leeds United midfielder was offside as he finally found a way beyond Edwin van der Saar to cancel out the impact of the brilliant Bulgarian.
