Bruno Fernandes’ penalty after 101 seconds is Man City’s first goal in a league game at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester United ended Manchester City’s 21-game winning sequence in all competitions with an impressive derby win at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side still have what appears to be an impregnable 11-point lead at the top of the Premier League, but the way United subdued a previously unstoppable City and improved their own top-four chances will be a huge boost. trusted by the coach. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players.
United, which are 22 unbeaten league games, including 14 wins, surprised City with a fast start and took the lead after a penalty was awarded within the first 30 seconds when Gabriel Jesus fouled the impressive Antony Martial.
Bruno Fernandes scored from point of view despite City goalkeeper Ederson getting a strong hand on the ball, then United engineered the win with a mix of solid defense and constant threat at halftime.
Rodri almost leveled just after the break when his shot bounced off the angle of the post and the bar, but United effectively sealed the win, dooming City to their first loss since a 2-0 loss to Tottenham on November 21, when standout Shaw, who had previously missed a chance to double United’s lead, led a counterattack, trading passes with Marcus Rashford before beating Ederson with a low shot.
Solskjaer’s team, which had not scored in their previous three games, returned to second place, one point ahead of Leicester City in the increasingly tight fight for a place in the top four.
Man Utd shows his best side
United’s recent performances were greeted with frustration, especially after they faced an unambitious and goalless stalemate at Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
It cemented the impression that it was a very talented team that arguably underperformed this season.
This was the flip side of United, the one they need to show more often if they are to find the kind of consistency that leads to serious title challenges.
They attacked early to seize the initiative, then maintained impressive composure and control even as the City inevitably threatened to return to the fray.
And the symbol of what United could be perhaps came in the form of Anthony Martial, so often inconsistent but outstanding here as they looked like a constant threat at halftime.
Martial missed a couple of chances in the second half, but he deserved the applause he received from the United bench when he was replaced by Nemanja Matic at the end.
Martial was not the only significant contributor. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson looked confident and confident as he kept another clean sheet, pressing his claims of being United’s number one with David de Gea out in Spain after the birth of his daughter.
Shaw will have impressed to see England manager Gareth Southgate, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka won his personal battle with Raheem Sterling.
This, above all, was a tight-knit United team effort and great credit must go to manager Solskjaer for another impressive game plan and a win at City.
United did the double against City last season and Solskjaer is the club’s first coach to win three straight away games against arch rivals since a streak of four between November 1993 and November 2000.
He is also the first manager in United history to win each of their first three road games against City in all competitions.
All in all, a good day at work for United and their coach.
