Manchester City Reclaim City Supremacy with 3-1 Derby Win Over United

Manchester City continued their pursuit of English Premier League glory with a dramatic 3-1 comeback victory over rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The Red Devils stunned the home crowd by taking an early lead through a thunderous strike from Marcus Rashford, silencing recent criticism of his work rate. However, Pep Guardiola’s side dominated possession and peppered United’s goal, with Erling Haaland even spurning a golden opportunity on the stroke of halftime.

The tide turned in the second half as Phil Foden rose to the occasion, mirroring Rashford’s effort with a well-placed shot to equalize. Foden continued to torment the United defense, grabbing his second and City’s winner in the 80th minute. Redemption finally arrived for Haaland in stoppage time, as he slotted home to seal the win and ensure City remain just a point behind league leaders Liverpool.

This match marked a historic moment for Manchester City, as it was the first time they had ever overturned a deficit to defeat United in the Premier League. The victory also highlighted United’s vulnerability, as they fell to their first defeat from a winning half-time position since 2014.

Both sides face crucial fixtures next week. City travel to Anfield for a top-of-the-table clash against Liverpool, while United look to bounce back against Everton at home.
