It was a thrilling game put on show, as the “ Mother of all derby”
kicked off at the City of Manchester Stadium last night. The red
devils Manchester United were up against
neighbors Manchester City in a classic
tie up which gave way to only a single goal, Manchester city harnessing their home support managed to overpower Sir
Alex’s men with a 1 goal victory . City who dominated the first
half, looked desperate in shutting out United , from the commencement of the
game , it was City defender Vincet Kompany who scored the lone of the game , during the additional time of the first half as
he converted from a City corner . Breaking through the defense and without
being marked , Komapny utilized his physique to reach for ball and in
due course headed in the first and the lone of the game , Smalling did his bit in preventing Kompany to get a
touch in the ball , but it was all in
vain as City celebrated it’s first goal.
The build up to the Manchester City vsManchester United game was in a word “enthralling” , as viewers across the
globe and those in the stadiums awaited
a Classic Clash between two English
Behemoths , the stadium was filled up to
the brim and it was the City fans who
waved their banner high after the match , United Fans on the contrary were disappointed
to see their team slip to the 2nd place in the tables after being
down on goal difference ,Manchester City are now leveled with United after this
win with 83 points each , but are ahead in account of goal difference . With
just a couple of games at hand , the sudden turns in the tables may be decisive
in boosting City chance’s to lift their first EPL title ever . United on the
other hand would have to make the most out of their remaining games both in terms
of goals and points in order nullify City’s existing Goal difference ,that has
now place them at the top of the table. City would create history if they go to
win the EPL crown for the season , as it will be their only English Premier League
title .
Manchester United relied
intensively on their counter attacking football , but failed to capitalize ,
chances were between few and far in the first half for United . Tempers soared
even at the dug out as Sir Alex got
involved in some exchange of words with City coach Roberto Mancini ,which
escalated into a heated conversation after
it had to be brought to an end by staffs from either side .
After this loss in the City vsUnited derby , EPL will now be more entertaining as the battle for the spot
intensifies between these lone pair of
contenders .
