39th min: United play keep ball for a while on the edge of City's third, but they struggle to find a way through, and in the end Pogba gives it away.

The cutback finds De Bruyne, on the edge of the six yard area, who is in acres of space to finish comfortably. 10th min: Better from United. The ball finds Sancho on the left a couple of times as United put on a little pressure. 47th min: Maguire has to time his tackle well on the edge of his area as De Bruyne carries the ball on the break. 45th min: More involvement for Mahrez! City take a quick free kick in midfield and De Bruyne carries it towards the right. A flurry of City attacks see Aaron Wan-Bissaka try and see the ball out, but Grealish is alive to the opportunity. It ends with Foden winning the ball high up on the right as United try to break, but he's caught between shooting and passing, and the opportunity fades. 54th min: It's a little slow from City as they pass it around at the back, until Laporte fizzes the ball into Grealish on the halfway line. United have never truly felt at the races in the second half, and it's too easy to City now. City's third came from a corner, with Mahrez finding space on the edge of the area to guide the ball home, after his teammate's crowded the six yard area to leave him with space. They were well structured, and they were winning the ball back well in midfield. When the visitors pressed, it was easy for City to play through them, and the second half quickly settled into a regular rhythm.

Every decision we made in the game was good, that's why we won the game." "In the second half it [showed the gap between the two sides] but the first half was a competitive game. "In the first half we had more chances on the counter-attack rather than possession. In the second half they struggled to press us as a consequence of the first half. In the first half they had more energy than the second half. But we look ahead to the next games, and we need to win the next two home games - they are essential to us." We conceded a fourth in the last minute of the game. They are one of the top teams in the world and there is a gap between the two teams. "United gave up and in a derby, in any game, it's unforgivable. It was a very difficult game against one of the best teams in the world. And, after Foden, Mahrez and De Bruyne all had sights of the United goal, the pressure finally told. That goal only seemed to poke the hornet's nest, and parity lasted a mere five minutes.
