Man Utd 0-2 Man City: Champions win derby to return to top of table
Manchester City struck an important blow in their pursuit of a second successive Premier League title with a convincing derby victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
They have played the same number of games as Liverpool, performing with control and composure to eventually outclass United. City's players showed nerve as well as quality to come through what many felt would be their toughest assignment between now and the end of this enthralling title campaign. Sane's introduction after Fernandinho's injury gave City extra cutting edge but it was the magnificent Silva who made the breakthrough when his low shot went past the pedestrian De Gea.Sane's second - proving again what an attacking weapon he is - merely gave the scoreline a greater air of reality and the closing stages resembled a training exercise as City kept possession and United chased shadows.
United were outmanoeuvred in all areas of the pitch, with De Gea's current decline emphasised by his questionable role in both goals. Paul Pogba was again poor, even suffering the ignominy of losing a straight aerial challenge to the diminutive Raheem Sterling, while Fred had a nightmare alongside him.
