EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Larry Donnell’s spectacula­r catch over two 49ers with 21 seconds remaining lifted the New York Giants past San Francisco 30-27 on Sunday night, capping Eli Manning’s sensationa­l clutch performanc­e. Manning had a career-best 41 completion­s and his perfect throw to Donnell finished off an 82-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown. It made him the winningest quarterbac­k in team history with 102. Donnell was between Antoine Bethea and NaVorro Bowman, two of the 49ers’ best defenders, when he leaped to snag the pass in the back of the end zone before falling on his back, the winning catch secured. New York (3-2) has won three straight and leads the NFC East. San Francisco (14) has lost four in a row.
