Tevez Saves United But Diving Rooney Hobbles Off

Manchester United needed a late goal from Carlos Tevez to snatch a point from a 1-1 draw at Blackburn, leaving them in the box seat in the Premier League title race.

The Argentinian striker headed the ball home from close range with two minutes to go after Paul Scholes had flicked on a corner from Nani. Earlier Brad Friedel in the Blackburn goal had pulled off a string of fine saves to deny United.

Tevez's goal cancelled out the opener from Roque Santa Cruz leaving Sir Alex Ferguson's men three points ahead of Chelsea with the teams meeting next Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
