The Manchester derby got off to a flying start. This Sunday, Manchester City welcomed its eternal rival to the Etihad Stadium with the ambition of winning to put pressure on Liverpool. Opposite, Manchester United intended to play a trick on their opponent to stay in contact with European places. If the Skyblues seemed to master this part in the first quarter of an hour, it was ultimately the Red Devils who took control thanks to a flash of genius from Marcus Rashford.
Served by Bruno Fernandes, the Englishman managed to resist Kyle Walker’s retreat before pivoting and unleashing a cannon shot which, well assisted by the crossbar, crucified Ederson in the 8th minute of play (0-1). Thus, the Mancunian striker opened the scoring and at the same time scored his sixth goal of the season.
