Premier League matchday 11
Old Trafford
Manchester City bat Manchester United : 2 à 0
Goals: Bailly (7th csc), Silva (45th) for Man City
The Manchester derby has turned into a demonstration for Pep Guardiola’s side, and without a great De Gea United would have cost significantly more.
Much was expected between the Red Devils Cristiano Ronaldo version, and the Citizens of Pep Guardiola, but finally Manchester City directly put Old Trafford on the back burner. From the first minutes, De Bruyne and his teammates put colossal pressure on De Gea’s goal, but it was not until an unfortunate gesture from Bailly to see the United goalkeeper bow (0-1, 7th). Even with Cristiano Ronaldo getting just one chance in 45 minutes, the Manchester United goalkeeper was stepping up his exploits against City forwards and keeping his squad alive. But just before the break, and after an incredible blunder in his defense, De Gea was a little at fault on Bernardo Silva’s goal (0-2, 45th).

The second half was dramatic for Manchester United, with Solskjaer’s side unable to stop City, who were on the verge of playing a 10-a-side pass under the cheers of the citizen supporters, who threw mocking chants at their Norwegian coach. rival. And this time, CR7 did not even allow considering a turnaround, the Portuguese star being transparent. De Gea was even happy not to take a third after this incredible lesson given by a Manchester City team far too strong for these Red Devils there. In the standings, the Citizens are now ahead of Manchester United by six points, and on what we saw this Saturday, it is the right price.
