Manchester City took the lead through Jack Grealish in the second half, but two late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford ensured that United could celebrate a 2-1 victory in the rivalry match against their city neighbours. – An incredible end to the match. But we haven’t heard the last of this. The equalizing goal will create massive debate, is the verdict from former top scorer Michael Owen on Twitter. – The stupidest decision About ten minutes before the end, the equalizer came, and it happened in dramatic fashion. A through ball sent Marcus Rashford through, but the forward was offside when the pass went through. However, the striker barely touched the ball before Bruno Fernandes put the ball in the goal, and after a VAR check the goal stood. This despite the fact that many believe Rashford clearly influenced the situation from his offside position. – A very special situation, stated Viasport commentator Tor Ole Skullerud. – How is that goal approved? Dumbest decision I’ve ever seen. Give us football back, writes former Liverpool profiler Dietmar Hamann on Twitter. Goalless Haaland The last time Haaland played against Manchester United, it ended with a 6-3 victory and three goals. This time he went off the field scoreless after hardly having been involved in anything. Haaland has not scored in three games, the last scoring came on New Year’s Eve, an unusually long goal drought for him. Which team deserved the win? The match itself started calmly and with few chances, but eventually United tightened their grip. Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford in particular was on top of his game and came close to scoring a couple of times, and City were lucky not to go into the break at 0-0. Wrapped up Halaand For Erling Braut Haaland’s part, the first half was largely characterized by running around without getting the ball. The Norwegian fired a shot once, but it was blocked. – That says something about how good United have been, analyzed Viasport’s Pål André Helland during the break. The second half was 15 minutes old when City finally managed to fool the United defence. Kevin De Bruyne got down to the dead line and put the ball high into the box. Right in front of Haaland, substitute Jack Grealish, who had been substituted for Phil Foden just four minutes earlier, waited and poked the ball into the goal. Jack Grealish scores the 1-0.

Around ten minutes later, Fernandes equalized, and then United gained new strength. Two minutes later it slammed again. The 18-year-old super talent Alejandro Garnacho spins around with Nathan Aké and found Rashford in front of the goal, and this time the striker himself put the ball in the goal. United had thus turned 0-1 into 2-1 in a few minutes. This is also how the match ended. Manchester United’s next match is played on Wednesday away to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Manchester City face Tottenham at home the following day.
