Great news for Arsenal. Manchester City have to bite another point loss as they fell short against their city rival on Saturday afternoon. Manchester United won the derby 2-1 at Old Trafford.
The Gunners can now increase their five-point lead, while the Red Devils are six points behind the London side. There will undoubtedly be a lot of joy in the red part of Manchester, but the match was badly affected by the referee.
In the first half United were the better team, more active, tactically well prepared. But the second half looked better for City for a long time. It went ahead in the 60th minute after a beautiful action, which ended with an unconventional header by Jack Grealish.
Citizens tried to control their lead, kept the ball on their hoof and hardly let their opponents do anything compared to the first half. But in the 78th minute came a crucial and controversial moment.
Bruno Fernandes equalised at 1:1. However, the pass was originally directed to Marcus Rashford, who was clearly offside and whose movement affected the Manchester City defence.
Even goalkeeper Ederson seemed to be concentrating on the England star and it was as if he didn’t know about Fernandes, who eventually finished. The referee initially waved offside, but the head referee conceded the goal.
Who knows what would have happened if the goal hadn’t fallen. In any case, the Citizens felt wronged and instead of trying to quickly take the lead back, they had to pull the ball out of their net again four minutes later.
Rashford got United’s winning goal after a beautiful clearance from Alejandro Garnacha.
The Red Devils notched their ninth straight win in the competition.
