Manchester City secured the bragging rights in the Manchester derby for the second time this season after thrashing Manchester United 4-1 on Sunday evening. SLInt MORE:
The big news in regard to United was that Cristiano Ronaldo was ruled out with a slight recurrence of his hip flexor injury. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw were also omitted due to having tested positive for Covid-19 in the week. As a result, Jadon Sancho, Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire came into the starting lineup.
Fernandes threads the needle to find Fred, who takes a step past Walker to bear down on goal. Ederson is out quickly to smother his effort before Grealish clears the danger. However, the lead was restored by City just six minutes later through that man De Bruyne again. Phil Foden showed his silky skills by lifting the ball over Victor Lindelof. The English starlet's shot was rebounded to Silva, whose shot rebounded into the path of De Bruyne who side-footed high and into the top left corner from close range.
Riyad Mahrez was denied by some brilliance from David de Gea when the City winger cut in from the right flank and drilled an effort towards the bottom-left corner but it was turned away by De Gea.
