Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford despite playing with ten men following Phil Foden’s first-half dismissal, with Erling Haaland scoring the winner and Gianluigi Donnarumma producing a crucial late save.
The Manchester derby was goalless at the break after Foden was shown a straight red card for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes following a challenge. Despite their numerical disadvantage, City remained dangerous and found the breakthrough through Haaland, whose goal was confirmed after a review, before holding firm under late United pressure.
Manchester United: The Red Devils tried to make their numerical advantage count after Foden’s dismissal but lacked precision in the final third. Bruno Fernandes tested Donnarumma and Mbeumo went close before having a golden opportunity to equalise in the 95th minute, only for the City goalkeeper to produce a superb save.
Manchester City: Going down to ten men did little to diminish City’s threat. Haaland struck his ninth goal against United to put the visitors ahead, while Enzo Fernandez was denied a second when Lammens tipped his long-range effort onto the post. Donnarumma then emerged as the late hero to secure a memorable derby victory.
