Super sub Shaun saves City

Bermuda's Shaun Goater scored a late equaliser as Manchester City drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford today.

Trailing to Ruud van Nistelrooy's first-half opener, manager Kevin Keegan threw on Goater and Ali Benarbia for the last five minutes.

With his first touch Benarbia delivered an astute free-kick which Shaun Wright-Phillips chipped into the box and Goater steered a header past Roy Carroll.

City could have had even more, but Goater's injury-time effort was ruled out for handball against Anelka after Wright-Phillips' deflected shot had bounced back off the crossbar.
