Carlos Tevez's late goal earned Manchester United a hard-fought 1-0 win over 10-man Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
The Argentine ace struck seven minutes from time to give Sir Alex Ferguson's side all three points to help them close the gap on the leading pack.
Stoke faced an uphill battle from the moment Andy Wilkinson was sent off 18 minutes from time for a second bookable offence for bringing down Cristiano Ronaldo.
United were far from their best upon their return from the Club World Cup in Japan as Stoke pushed them all the way before Tevez's crucial strike.
The visitors were forced to make a late change with Jonny Evans replacing Rio Ferdinand who injured his back in the warm-up, and they struggled to get their game together in the first half.
