Manchester United Defeats Manchester City in Dramatic Derby
Controversial Finish Marred by City's Disappointment
Rashford, Mainoo, and Garnacho Seal Victory
In a highly anticipated match, Manchester United emerged victorious over rivals Manchester City in a thrilling and controversial derby at Old Trafford. Despite City dominating possession, it was United who struck first, with young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo finding the back of the net to give the home side an early lead.
Just minutes later, Alejandro Garnacho doubled United's advantage with a clinical finish, sending Old Trafford into a frenzy. City struggled to respond until the second half, when Erling Haaland pulled one back to give them hope.
However, the match took a controversial turn in the final moments when Marcus Rashford was awarded a penalty kick. City players protested vehemently, claiming the decision was incorrect. Rashford held his nerve and converted the spot-kick, securing a dramatic 2-1 victory for United.
The result was a bitter blow to City, who had not lost in over six months. United, on the other hand, extended their winning streak and moved back into the top four of the league.
