Premier League Report: Manchester United 1 – 2 Manchester City

Manchester City Continued their 100% start to the season with a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford

Kevin de Bruyne led City’s fast start, slotting past David de Gea one-on-one, before lashing against the post, the rebound converted by Kelechi Iheanacho.

However, debutant City keeper Claudio Bravo spilt a Wayne Rooney cross at the feet of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who kept his composure to cut the deficit.

Both teams had second-half chances, but City held on to take all three points.

Manchester City started impressively in a frenetic fixture, showing greater quality and composure on the ball as both teams flew into challenges.

In one of the game’s subplots, City manager Pep Guardiola drew first blood in his renewed rivalry with United counterpart Jose Mourinho, who gave first starts of the season to Jesse Lingard and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, only to replace them both at half-time.

The hosts had more possession in the second half, with Ibrahimovic having a goal ruled out for offside, but City remained dangerous throughout, with De Bruyne coming within inches of scoring his second when he hit the post for a second time late on.
