Manchester United went top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win against Stoke City at the Britannia Staium.

The champions' victory, coupled with Chelsea's 3-1 defeat at Wigan, meant they overtook Carlo Ancelotti's side on goal difference.

Second-half goals from Dimitar Berbatov and John O'Shea secured the points, but it was the introduction from the bench of Ryan Giggs that proved decisive.

The veteran midfielder unlocked a previously solid Stoke defence, setting up both goals and proving his enduring ability.
