total.extra time............5.26 mins
add this to the ............90.00

Total including time added on 95 mins and 26 secs
owen goaled timed at 95 mins and 27 secs

Shoot the referee, because he was a second out. Every school boy football player knows that you play to the whistle................man city didnt and owen scored

My understanding is that the additional time is a minimum amount, so United V City was to be a minimum of 4 minutes. Shay Given's timewasting on kickouts, substitutions, excessive goal celebration etc -they all add up.
