Manchester City defeated its neighbor and rival, Man United, 3-1, on Sunday, in the 27th round of the English Premier League.
Phil Foden scored two wonderful goals and Erling Haaland scored before the end, giving the Citizens three wins, continuing their quest to win the Premier League title for the fourth time in a row, and thwarting Man United’s attempt to kill two birds with one stone.
Until the 81st minute, Man United was willing to obstruct the progress of its eternal rival in the city and fulfill the promises of the new co-owner Jimer Atcliffe to return the 20-time English champion to the position he deserves. But Foden received a pass from Julián Alvarez and shot the ball from the left of the penalty area, giving City the lead, scoring his second personal goal.
Haaland completed the hat-trick for his team after a defensive error, as Rodri cut the ball from Sofiane Amrabat to pass it to Haaland, and he was alone on goal and shot into the net.
Marcus Rashford had put United in the lead in the eighth minute after receiving a pass from Bruno Fernandes, and Rashford fired a shot from outside the penalty area that hit the crossbar and into the net.
Foden equalized the score for City with a similar shot from outside the area in the 56th minute after a pass from Rodri.
After Manchester United prevailed at the start of the match, City woke up and Foden almost equalized in the 19th minute, but United goalkeeper Andre Onana brilliantly blocked his shot from inside the area.
In the 33rd minute, Rodri shot a powerful shot from inside the area, but it was successfully blocked by the Man United goalkeeper. Haaland wasted an opportunity to equalize while facing the goal, after he shot over the crossbar after Foden set up the ball for him with a header after a cross pass from Rodri in the 44th minute.
Play was stopped due to the injury of Onana, the Red Devils goalkeeper, in the 65th minute.
Kevin De Bruyne fired a free kick from outside the area for Man City in the 71st minute, but it hit the human wall.
The referee refused to award a penalty kick in favor of Man United after Garnacho fell in the area following an intervention by City goalkeeper Ederson in the 78th minute.
