On Saturday afternoon, Manchester United emerged victorious in their Premier League match against Manchester City with a score of 2-1 at Old Trafford. This comes after United’s heavy defeat of 6-3 in the first Manchester derby of the season in October.
Despite starting the match, Anthony Martial, who had scored two late goals in the previous matchup, was not as effective in the first half. Martial was replaced by Antony at halftime, but it was City who scored first through Jack Grealish in the 58th minute.
However, the home crowd’s encouragement led to a strong comeback by United with Bruno Fernandes scoring an equalizer in the 78th minute, and Marcus Rashford scoring the winning goal shortly after. With this win, United is now just one point behind City in the league table.
