Manchester is red today: United had three goals disallowed, but still celebrated over City

(Patria) - Manchester United players recorded a great victory in the city derby today, defeating Manchester City at "Old Trafford" with a score of 2:0 in the 22nd round of the Premiership.

The guests had territorial dominance and significantly more possession of the ball from the very beginning, as much as 72 percent in the first half, but their numerous attacks were fruitless.

On the other hand, United appeared more concrete and dangerous in front of the guests' goal.

The home team had already shaken the net twice in the first half through Diallo and Fernandes, but both goals were disallowed after VAR review due to offside, so the teams went into halftime with the score at 0:0.

City's resistance was broken in the 65th minute. Fernandes started a quick counter-attack, then found Mbeumo with a precise pass, who calmly hit the back of the net to give United the lead.

Eleven minutes later, the hosts confirmed their victory - Cunha broke through the right side and sent the ball into the six-yard box, where Dorgu found himself best and scored for the final 2:0.

It is worth noting that United had another goal disallowed for offside in stoppage time.

With this victory, Manchester United moved up to fourth position in the table, while City remained second, six points behind leaders Arsenal, who also have a game in hand.
