Persevering Marcus Rashford

He didn't give up.

After missing two clear chances in the first half, Marcus Rashford was able to stay in the game to give victory to Manchester United (2-1).

On his team's equalizer, knowing he was in an offside position, he cleverly left the ball to his teammate Bruno Fernandes who adjusted Ederson with a nice right-footed shot (79th).

In the process, he made a perfect flat foot, at close range, on a cross from Alejandro Garnacho, to score the goal of success (82nd).

A very nice game.

Jack Grealish, decisive but insufficient entry

He rocked the meeting.

While Manchester City could not find the fault, and were even in difficulty in creating chances, Jack Grealish knew how to make the difference only three minutes after appearing on the lawn, instead of a Phil Foden transparent.

On the hour mark, on a millimeter center at the far post from Kevin De Bruyne, the Briton, who arrived launched, placed a good shot with his helmet which left David de Gea no chance.

An important goal but which ultimately did not allow the Citizens to snatch victory.

Phil Foden transparent

We will not have seen it from the meeting.

Positioned on the left side of the Manchester City attack, Phil Foden never knew how to make himself available, whether on his wing or a little more in the axis, to influence the course of the meeting.

He was finally replaced shortly before the hour mark by Jack Grealish, after only touching fourteen small balls.

A meeting to forget for the Briton.

Manchester City too uninspired

It was not the Manchester City of the first part of the season.

In the first act, the Citizens were totally apathetic and too uninspired on the ball;

as proof, they only hit goal twice.

After the break, if they woke up, creating several chances in addition to the opener, they were unable to react after the reversal of the situation operated by the Red Devils.

For example, their serial scorer Erling Haaland has never been served in good conditions.

Pep Guardiola will have to put his team's attacking game in order if he does not want to see his chances of playing for the title go away.

At least, if it's not yet...
