Manchester City secured a 1-0 win against Manchester United in the Premier League despite playing with 10 men for most of the match. Phil Foden received a red card in the 26th minute for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, leaving the visitors shorthanded. Erling Haaland scored the decisive goal on the hour mark following a VAR review that overturned an initial offside flag. Manager Enzo Maresca suggested the numerical disadvantage hindered both teams, noting that City shifted to a compact shape that limited United's ability to capitalize on transitions. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma preserved the result with a late stoppage-time save against Bryan Mbeumo. The victory extends the perfect start for Manchester City in the current league campaign.
