Manchester United came back from a goal down to defeat neighbour Manchester City 2-1 in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford.
It was an amazing comeback from the Red devils as they dished out a very better performance as against their last meeting at the Etihad.
In the 60th minute De Bruyne is slipped into the United box down the right, a cute pass from Mahrez. He stands one up into the middle for Grealish, who rises at the far post and plants a header into the top left from six yards. Easy as that! Fine goal. United picked apart forensically.
However, in the 78th minute, Casemiro rolls a pass down the inside-right channel to release Rashford, who is well offside. Rashford runs alongside the ball, but doesn’t touch it. Fernandes, coming behind him, gives him a shout. Rashford leaves it. Fernandes opens his body and whips across Ederson and into the right-hand side of the net. What a finish!
The 82nd minute of the encounter provided another goal, in what looked like a twist of fate, Garnacho twists and turns down the left. It looks as though there’s nothing on, but Garnacho keeps probing. One last drop of the shoulder creates a little bit of space away from Ake, and he fires a low cross into the centre. Rashford is the most alive, and he sticks out a leg to poke under Ederson from six yards!
There’ll be some controversy over United’s equaliser, no doubt, but what a response by Erik ten Hag’s side! They’re in the title race now all right. A great result for Arsenal, too
The result has now thrown the title race open with just one point seperating Manchester City on 39 points and Manchester United on 38 after 18 games each.
