58 mins: Manchester United 2 Arsenal 1: United may be down to bones barer than anything Harry Redknapp ever had to endure at Tottenham, but still the hosts come forward and are only denied a third goal by the last-gasp block of Gabriel. The defender just about managed to get himself in the way as Morgan Schneiderlin took aim with a far post volley.
77 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 2 SWANSEA 1:
Tottenham have turned it right around at White Hart Lane, and now lead Swansea through Danny Rose! A corner from the right was only half cleared by the visiting defence, and then the left-back took charge. Controlling the loose ball with a neat first touch that took him away from the presence of Ki Sung-Yueng, Rose unleashed a bullet of a strike that flew past Lukasz Fabianski. Title challenges are made of such goals.
Cue the celebrations!
82 mins: Manchester United 3 Arsenal 2: A flurry of substitutions means Arsenal have made all their changes as they search out what would be an unlikely point in the circumstances. Joining Olivier Giroud and Mohamed Elneny off the bench is young Alex Iwobi.Meanwhile, Adnan Januzaj is on for Manchester United, replacing goalscoring hero Marcus Rashford.
87 mins: Manchester United 3 Arsenal 2: The home side are playing keep ball in the far corner of Old Trafford which is a frustrating spectacle for Elneny, who unleashes his studs on Lingard. It's a challenge that brings a free-kick, and another chance for United to run the clock down. Arsenal have three minutes plus whatever the officials wish to add on if they are to find an equaliser.
90 mins: Manchester United 3 Arsenal 2: The home fans are cheering every challenge, every loose ball booted to safety, every refereeing decision in their favour. It's not the first time such supporter behaviour has been witnessed inside Old Trafford, but it's usually from away fans desperately hoping to hang on to a famous win.
There will be five minutes of injury time to be played.
90 mins: Tottenham 2 Swansea 1: And there will also be five minutes added on at White Hart Lane. Can Swansea twist another knot in the title race?
90+5 mins: Manchester United 3 Arsenal 2: Manchester United eat up a few more final seconds by bringing on another player nobody has heard of. It's James Weir. Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
FULL TIME - MANCHESTER UNITED 3 ARSENAL 2:
It's all over at Old Trafford. Is it all over for Arsenal? There's still plenty of points to play for, but what psychological damage will that have done to Arsene Wenger's men.
FULL TIME - TOTTENHAM 2 SWANSEA 1:
Tottenham come from behind to take their 17th point from losing positions this season, and close the gap on Leicester City at the top to two points. It's West Ham away on Wednesday for Mauricio Pochettino's men; they could be top of the Premier League table by the time next weekend's fixtures come around.
