EPL: Cityzens Claim Bragging Rights of the City of Manchester

On Sunday, Manchester City overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat Manchester United 3-1 and move to within one point of Premier League leaders Liverpool. Phil Foden scored twice in the victory.

Before Man City’s travel to Liverpool the following weekend, the title race is in perfect balance thanks to a goal from Erling Haaland in stoppage time.

Marcus Rashford’s incredible 30-yard goal in the eighth minute gave the visitors the lead.

Foden, however, grabbed center stage in a match that City controlled.

More significantly, before visiting Anfield the following week, Pep Guardiola’s team now sits just one point behind leaders Liverpool thanks to the outcome.

Despite having played one more game, United is now six points behind Tottenham and 11 points behind Aston Villa in fourth place in the table, potentially leaving them in fifth place for the Champions League.

United, who lost their eleventh Premier League game of the year, was defeated by City for the sixth time in their last seven meetings.
