With a balance of five 0-0 draws and two losses against the "Top 6" teams, it was difficult to bet on United's victory over City at Etihad, but it seems that the derby really has its own rules.
Pep Guardiola's side came into the meeting with a streak of 21 wins in all competitions and knowing that a win would give them a huge 15-point gap over Leicester II and 17 over United, but from the first to the last minute it was not their day.
To United's credit, she contributed to it and took advantage of it.
Already after two minutes, Bruno Fernandez took the lead from a penalty after Jesus' failure over Rashford, and in the 50th minute she doubled the advantage with a goal from Luke Shaw.
City were far from peak and missed a lot and suffered their first loss since November.
performance from the boys!
UP.
THE.
REDS.
