Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw gave Manchester United a 2-0 derby victory at Manchester City to end the leaders' 15-match winning run in the Premier League.
Man Utd got
off to a flying start and took the lead thanks to a second-minute penalty from
Fernandes, awarded after Gabriel Jesus had fouled Anthony Martial.
At the other
end, goalkeeper Dean Henderson denied Oleksandr Zinchenko and then tipped over
a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick.
City
continued to threaten after the break and Rodrigo's strike clipped the crossbar
on 48 minutes.
Two minutes
later, Shaw doubled Man Utd's lead. Following a driving run, he exchanged
passes with Marcus Rashford, who later went off injured, before firing a low
left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
Substitute
Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling missed late chances for City, who remain top on
65 points.
Man Utd now
move up to second place on 54 points.
