Masters of the ball from start to finish, the Citizens largely dominated Manchester United this Saturday at Old Trafford (2-0), and their logical victory allows them to return to two points of Chelsea, the leader of the Premier League. The match: 0-2 Two weeks after the rout against Liverpool (0-5, October 24), Manchester United found this Saturday Old Trafford for a new shock, this time against the neighbor of City, and it was yet another ordeal. Totally dominated in the first period, forced to run after the ball that he could never hold more than a few seconds, MU conceded only two goals, scored by Bailly against his side (7th) and Bernardo Silva (45th) , but the score could have been much heavier at the break. read also The movie of the match David De Gea was indeed brilliant to deflect a strike from Jesus (29th), a shot from Cancelo in stride, an attempt from De Bruyne (34th) and another from Cancelo (35th), while avoiding thanks to a reflex a goal against his camp at Lindelöf (33rd). It was a real demonstration of City, who decided to manage the match more calmly in the second half, with possession still as impressive but less sharp, even if a strike from Foden found the post (81st). Old Trafford saw only blue and this victory allows the Citizens to return to two points of the leader, Chelsea, who receives Burnley at 4 pm. Fifth, United can not really believe in the title because the gap is too deep between the two teams, and the changes of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who gave up his defense to three by throwing Sancho in place of Bailly (46th), n have brought nothing. While his dismissal is constantly mentioned, the Norwegian coach finds himself again on the front line because the victory against Tottenham (3-0, October 30) is now forgotten, after having eased the pressure. read also The 11th day of the Premier League The player: Ronaldo alone in the world As everything happened in the Manchester United pitch, the Red Devils forwards had a very difficult afternoon and Cristiano Ronaldo was no exception. The Portuguese only touched one ball in the opponent’s area and he exploited it well, since his beautiful recovery in pivot had to be deflected by Ederson (26th). This flash did not announce a recovery because Ronaldo then disappeared, penalized by the powerlessness of his partners, and he remained a spectator of the formidable control of City. Annoyed and frustrated, he even ended up receiving a warning after a tackle on De Bruyne who had already been mown down by Bruno Fernandes. read also The Premier League standings 14 Manchester United have conceded at least one goal in their last 14 home matches in all competitions.
