United Review: Manchester is red

United 2 - 1 city

A few thoughts on a memorable afternoon at Old Trafford as United staged a late turnaround to come from behind and beat their local rivals in a dramatic derby at Old Trafford.

City looked to be closing the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal after substitute Jack Grealish headed them in front from Kevin de Bruyne's cross on the hour. However, United sent their fans into raptures with a superb recovery.

The reds drew level with 12 minutes left as Bruno Fernandes scored despite the presence of Marcus Rashford in an offside position.City's protests that he had interfered with play ignored despite the flag going up.

Marcus Rashford was the maib figure again four minutes later when he swept in substitute Garnacho's cross at the Stretford End to move United to within one point of the blues.
