Red Devils damage Manchester City’s title hope
Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday at Old Trafford, dimming City’s title hope this season.
The game appeared to be heading into a stalemate as both teams went into first half break without scoring.
City, however, returned into the second half to break the deadlock as Jack Grealish scored in the 60th minutes.
United fought their way back into the game, bouncing from behind to snatch a crucial win from City.
Bruno Fernández pulled an equaliser in the 78th minute, levelling for United, while Marcus Rashford’s 82nd minutes goal sealed United’s victory.
Saturday defeat leaves City in second position with 39 points, one ahead United and five points behind Arsenal.
The Gunners could increase their lead margin to eight points tomorrow if they defeat their London rival, Tottenham Hotspur.
