Phil Foden gave Manchester City the lead against Manchester United with a clever finish early on.
Manchester United were in excellent form leading up to the Manchester derby. Victories against Liverpool and Arsenal would have gave the players plenty of confidence, but Foden’s early goal meant Manchester United got off to a terrible start against their rivals.
Foden latched onto the end of a cut back from Bernardo Silva, expertly finishing past David De Gea.

It wasn’t the ideal start for Manchester United, as conceding so early to a team like Manchester City completely eradicates the game plan.
