Roque Santa Cruz threatened to blow the race for the championship wide open with a calm finish after 21 minutes.

And Blackburn keeper Brad Friedel kept United at bay almost single-handedly with a string of stunning saves.

Tevez’s 88th minute header gives United a three-point lead over Chelsea before their visit to Stamford Bridge.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson made four changes ahead of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona – with Nemanja Vidic returning after a three-game absence because of a knee injury and Tomasz Kuszczak stepping in for Edwin van der Sar in goal.

It contributed to moments of uncharacteristic uncertainty at the back, with Kuszczak having to rush out to block Jason Roberts from point-blank range after six minutes.

Tevez wasted a glorious chance to give United the lead three minutes later when he failed to apply the finishing touch to an inviting cross from Wayne Rooney.
