Manchester United – Manchester City 2-1

Entering the field in the 57th minute, Grealish opened the scoring (’60) after a very good pass from De Bruyne.

In the 78th minute, after a very successful pass by Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes scored. The goal was initially disallowed because Rashford was offside and affected the phase, but the success was confirmed by VAR.

The final score was established by Rashford in the 82nd minute after a goal from a pass by Garnacho.

With this result (fifth consecutive victory in the championship), the “red devils” scored 38 points and rose to third place, one point behind Pep Guardiola’s “citizens”.
