The 27th round continued tonight (Sunday) with one of the biggest meetings in England, when it met all expectations as Manchester City beat Manchester United 1:3 in the derby and joined Liverpool at the top.

In recent years, the derby is almost always one-pointed, with the blue ones coming out with the upper hand, but this time the game opened completely differently. Already in the eighth minute, Marcus Rashford stunned the Etihad with a tremendous goal at the end of a huge outburst.

City put pressure on Andrea Unana’s goalkeeper who time and time again repelled the attempts of the players in blue, Erling Holland was not sharp and even missed from a cornering situation from only three meters, the one who was in the game for the host was Phil Foden, when in the 55th minute he equalized with a great goal of his own.

The pressure of the Citizen continued and from here it was only a question of time when the transformation would take place. In the 80th minute it happened, Julian Albers passed to Foden and it finished elegantly and shook the whole stadium, in the 90th minute Holland made up for his miss, scoring a goal and determining the result of the game.

As mentioned, Manchester City reduced the difference from the top to only one point, with Liverpool of course in first place. On Wednesday, Pep Guardiola’s team will meet Copenhagen in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

For Manchester United, it is a critical drop in the fight for a place in Europe as they sit sixth in the table, with the Red Devils hoping to get back to winning ways in the next round against Everton on Saturday.
