Manchester City defeats Manchester United at Old Trafford

Phil Foden was sent off after 23 minutes at Old Trafford but Erling Haaland scored a controversial winner to hand Manchester City all three points

Elliot Anderson says Phil Foden was bouncing off the walls in delight after Manchester City survived his sending off to win Sunday’s controversial derby at Manchester United. The 199th meeting of the cross-town rivals was an action-packed battle marked by two key decisions, including Erling Haaland’s goal being awarded after a lengthy video review to secure a 1-0 Old Trafford win.

Erling Haaland's goal helps Manchester City win a highly controversial Manchester derby at rivals Manchester United despite playing with 10 men for more than 70 minutes.

Erling Haaland secured Manchester City a memorable derby-day triumph as Manchester United failed to capitalise on Phil Foden's sending-off on a day of contentious decisions.

Erling Haaland fired 10-man Manchester City to a memorable 1-0 victory over Manchester United despite Phil Foden's first-half red card to extend a perfect start to Enzo Maresca's reign."I think Foden's red card is a red card, but I also think that in the same action it's a red card for them," said Maresca.

This was a kick in the midriff for Manchester United. Not once. But twice.

Erling Haaland's goal helped Manchester City win a highly controversial Manchester derby at rivals Manchester United despite playing with 10 men for more than 70 minutes. For parts of City's first derby without Pep Guardiola as their manager in more than 10 years, it felt unlikely they would be keeping pace with title rivals Arsenal. Phil Foden became just the second City player to be sent off in a Premier League Manchester derby, the other being Bernardo Corradi in December 2006, after catching Bruno Fernandes' chest with his studs while sitting on the ground.

Manchester United 0-1 Manchester City: Erling Haaland’s goal earned the 10-man visitors victory after Phil Foden’s red card

“Enzo, Enzo, Enzo, in your head” was how delirious Manchester City fans regaled Enzo Fernández who after a star role in a memorable victory surely has instant cult hero status. This 199th derby was won by Erling Haaland’s ninth strike in the fixture but the visitors’ totem was their new No 17. He was the key nuisance in a goal initially ruled out for offside and which VAR overturned when ruling Fernández was not distracting Lisandro Martínez when Josko Gvardiol’s ball came over. The Argentinian, too, was an emblem of the fight Enzo Maresca’s team carried to Manchester United after Phil Foden appeared to turn the game the hosts’ way on 22 minutes.
