Penalty controversy, MU was beaten beautifully by Man City right at Old Trafford

Results of MU vs. Man City – The Red Devils entered the Manchester derby well but that was not enough to help them defeat their city rivals.

Facing a very strong and controlled Man City, MU entered the game with the mindset of playing defensive counter-attack and they did not let the opponent easily approach the goal.

That was the situation when Hojlund pulled Rodri’s shirt when Man City was taking a direct free kick in the 25th minute. The ball was initially cleared and the match continued normally, but VAR intervened and the referee decided to give the away team a penalty.

The opening goal made it much easier for Man City to play.

In the second half, MU once again conceded and it was still Haaland who scored in the 49th minute. It was a smooth coordination from Man City from home before crossing into the penalty area.

Everything ended for the Red Devils in the 80th minute. From Rodri’s long shot, the ball bounced to Haaland’s position before he crossed for Foden to increase the score to 3-0 for Man City.

This result helps The Citizens maintain third place in the rankings with 24 points after 10 matches, equal to Arsenal (2) but losing the difference and 2 points worse than top team Tottenham.
