Dimitar Berbatov's late goal gave 10-man Manchester United a 1-0 victory over Bolton and took their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points on Saturday.
In a first half of few chances, Javier Hernandez shot wide and Martin Petrov hit a free-kick at Edwin van der Sar.
Home defender Jonny Evans was shown a straight red card in the second half for a lunge on Stuart Holden.
But Berbatov gave United the points by bundling home after Jussi Jaaskelainen failed to hold Nani's shot.
The Bulgarian's last-gasp strike, coupled with Arsenal's 2-2 draw at West Brom , allowed United to restore a cushion at the top of the table that had been damaged by defeats at Chelsea and Liverpool.
It had looked set to be a frustrating afternoon for the league leaders, who were more than matched by a spirited Bolton side for large parts of the game.
