Pep Guardiola’s men took a fully deserved three points back to the Etihad Stadium with a 2-0 win over Manchester United in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
An Eric Bailly own goal had City ahead inside seven minutes, before Bernardo Silva doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time when he squeezed an effort past David De Gea at the far post from Joao Cancelo’s teasing cross.
Phil Foden went close to adding a third late on, striking the post after being threaded through by Kevin De Bruyne, but the damage had already been done.
Although we weren’t able to add to our two-goal advantage in the second half, the overall dominance of our display makes our ninth win in 14 matches at Old Trafford one to savour.
Not only did the hosts fail to register more than a single effort on target, which saw Ederson parry a Cristiano Ronaldo volley away from danger, but they also enjoyed just 32% possession across the 90 minutes.
