  • GOODNIGHT

    The ribbons on the Premier League trophy will be blue come May, but Manchester is red tonight after United stunned City on their own patch.

    A second minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes, and the second league goal of Luke Shaw's career were enough for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team as they brought the Citizens' 21-match winning streak crashing to an end.

    The victory moves United back up to second place in the Premier League, 11 points behind their rivals, and one step closer to ensuring the return of Champions League football to Old Trafford next season.

    There's more football going on right now so hop on over to North London to see whether Tottenham can boost their hopes of a top-four finish as they play Crystal Palace.

    Thanks for reading, and goodnight.

  • SOLSKJAER JOY

    A delighted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke to the press at full time following his side's 2-0 victory over rivals Manchester City, and saved particular praise for his standout players that overcame injury doubts to play.

    The second goal was magnificent. Luke [Shaw] just showed what he is all about. He was a massive doubt this morning and had to go through a fitness test to play. Anthony Martial was man of the match and he was an even bigger doubt than Luke. That was the Anthony we know: strong, positive and taking players on. I'm delighted for him.

  • PEP DEFIANT DESPITE DEFEAT

    While Pep Guardiola was disappointed to see his team beaten in the derby, he was full of praise for his players' performance, not just today but throughout their recent winning run.

    Because we lost, this is the news – but the real news is that we had 21 victories in a row, that's the news. This result is going to help us a lot to understand just how difficult it is.

  • HENDERSON RELISHES DERBY VICTORY

    Dean Henderson started back-to-back league games for Manchester United for the first time, and ended his first Manchester derby with three points and another clean sheet.

  • A SHAW THING

    Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw put in another outstanding performance for the Red Devils this afternoon, and capped it with just the second league goal of his career.

    Nailed on for the Euros?

  • UNITED STAND TALL

    As well as three points and local bragging rights, Manchester United also have another clean sheet to their name.

    The Red Devils have kept six in their last eight away games in the Premier League including in each of their last three.

  • READ ALL ABOUT IT

    It was billed as the winning streak versus the unbeaten away record, and in the end, it was the visitors who stunned the runaway leaders with derby day success. Relive the action with Dave Kidd's match report of Manchester United's 2-0 win at Manchester City.

    This was a masterful performance against elite opposition as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men halted Manchester City’s 21-match winning streak.

  • FERNANDES REACTION

    Bruno Fernandes got the ball rolling from the penalty spot this afternoon, and the overjoyed midfielder has now fired a warning to the rest of the league that United are on the march.

    When we defend well, we know we have the players to score. If we are focused in every game as we were today, we will win every game between now and the end of the season.

  • DE GEA DELIGHT

    He may be in Spain awaiting the birth of a child, but David de Gea has still found time to express his joy at his teammates' success. Can we suggest a name of Luke Shaw de Gea even if it's a girl?

    Of course, the goalkeeper might not be as pleased when he hears just how composed his stand-in, Dean Henderson, was in the United goal.

  • BRICK WALL-BISSAKA

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka has played in all seven Manchester derbies since he moved to Old Trafford, and put in a perfect defensive display this afternoon to help his team to all three points.

  • FULL TIME STATS

    The perfect away performance? Manchester City had almost double the possession and passes, but United rarely looked in trouble as they recorded a memorable victory and another clean sheet.

     

  • SOLSKJAER SO GOOD

    There were wild celebrations in the away dugout at full time, and it's understandable as to why.

    Not only have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team defeated their local rivals and champions-elect, but the victory has brought a couple of personal milestones for the Manchester United manager.

  • FT: MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    United take the honours in the Manchester derby, and, in doing so, end City's incredible 21-match winning streak. Goals early in each half did the damage in what was an impressive performance from the visitors; Bruno Fernandes struck a 2nd minute penalty while Luke Shaw started and finished a superb counter attack just after half-time.

  • PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
    THE FINAL WHISTLE GOES!
    MANCHESTER IS RED THIS EVENING!

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    90+5. As City look to conjure up one final chance, James steals in to win back possession for the visitors and burst forward.

    It's a moment in the last minute that is indicative of both teams' performance this afternoon.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    90+3. United bring on local boy Brandon Williams, equipped with his 1995 haircut, to eat up a few more seconds. Off goes Bruno Fernandes, who is all smiles and hugs with those in the away dugout.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    90. The board goes up to display five minutes.

    Normally, that would be enough to encourage on final roar of the encouragement from the home fans. As it is, the United players fall back into position without any intimidation.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    88. It's Nemanja Matic time!

    The Serbian is on to shore things up and slow things down. Off goes Anthony Martial, who has been excellent on his return.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    87. More anguish for City!

    Gundogan flicks on a corner at the near post, but Stones is unable to reach the ball to turn it in at the far.

     

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    85. Another Sterling howler.

    The Man City number seven finds himself all alone when Lindlof hits the deck in the six-yard-box, but inexplicably heads De Bruyne's cross well wide from point blank range.

    It's not been the England man's day.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    83. More frustrations for those in Blue.

    It's all City now, but they're unable to find a way through due to a combination of poor choices and resolute defending.

    Even when McTominay gives up possession in a dangerous area, United's defence come together to deny Gundogan a shooting chance.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    81. The arrival of Foden has certainly sparked City into life, but it's looking too little, too late.

    The substitute attempts to battle his way through a packed penalty area, but is unable to find a clear route to goal.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    79. Oh Raheem Sterling!

    A great cross from the right by Walker looks perfect for the City forward to convert at the far post, but somehow he fails to make any contact whatsoever.

    The presence of Lindelof perhaps put Sterling off, but he really should have given City a fighting chance there.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    77. Now it's Luke Shaw in discomfort, and the left-back requires some treatment on his thigh from the physio. Alex Telles is warming up in case he's needed.

  • MAN CITY 0-2 MAN UTD

    75. A first sight of goal for Foden, but the youngster fires wide.

    The substitute started the move, feeding Mahrez and then De Bruyne on the right. He then did ever so well to control the cross and turn in one movement, but that led him to falling off balance as he swiped his shot off target.
