A second-half goal from Erling Haaland secured local bragging rights for Manchester City on Sunday after a disciplined 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite playing with 10 men following Phil Foden's first-half red card for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, City maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with four wins out of four.
Controversy surrounded the game's decisive moment when VAR correctly ruled that Haaland was onside from Josko Gvardiol's cross. Manchester United argued that Enzo Fernandez interfered with play from an offside position before Haaland struck the ball into the roof of the net. Nevertheless, Manchester City deserved the three points following an impressive defensive display after going a man down, leaving Michael Carrick's side 13th in the table with only one league win this season.
