Manchester City – Manchester United 3-1

Although Pep Guardiola’s side dominated the game from end to end, it was United who opened the scoring.

Marcus Rashford beat Ederson in the 8th minute of the game, after an excellent pass from Bruno Fernandes.

The reigning champion conceded many times, but it was possible to restore parity only in the second half, after the end of the phase by Phil Foden (min. 56).

Foden also scored 2:1 in the 80th minute with a pass from Julián Álvarez.

In the list of scorers could not be absent the scorer Erling Haaland, the one who celebrated success at number 18 in the current edition of the Premier League, after a pass from Rodri (min. 90+1).
