The game marked city legend Kevin De Bruyne’s last Manchester Derby ever, but in general the game was overwhelming because both parties could not find a breakthrough.

While City had the majority of the ball, United had better limited a game in opportunities, because it missed a first competition about the city since 2019/20.

United stacked himself on the misery on a wrestling city side and came back from a goal to take the three points. City took place after Josko Gvardiol reached the bent cross of De Bruyne, which was inviting him to accompany a header past Andre Onana.

City seemed to be on the way to a victory when a mistake by Matheus Nunes led to a penalty, giving Bruno Fernandes the chance to reach the location in the 88th minute.

City had hardly crossed that shock when seconds later, Amad Diallo sent the visiting fans to Delirium with an excellent finish from the tightest corners.

Another comeback victory, but this time it was the blue side that emerged as the victor. Marcus Rashford gave United the lead in the first half with a thunderous attack from outside the box and in the top left corner.

On the other hand, however, Phil Foden corresponded 11 minutes in the second half to the efforts of his countryman before he doubled his count in the 80th minute. In the first minute of the added time, every hope that United received something from the game was destroyed by Erling Haaland, who sealed the game with a neat finish after Sofyan Amrabat gave the ball away cheaply.

United immediately brought the score against the Run of Play when Fernandes struck in the 78th minute. The goal was initially excluded by the referee’s assistant because Rashford was in an offside position. However, that decision was canceled by VAR after it was confirmed that the United Forward had not touched the ball before Fernandes struck.

Rashford then hit the winner up close, only four minutes later when he converted the cross of replacement Alejandro Garnacho.
