At 20:30 on November 6, Beijing time, a focus battle in the 11th round of Premier League was staged at Old Trafford, with Manchester United playing against Manchester City at home. In the first half, Bailey scored an own goal, de Gea rescued many times, and B-Silva expanded its advantage; in the second half, neither team made any achievements. In the end, Manchester City won 2-0, and the Manchester City derby was 1.
In the 7th minute, Cancelo from the left crossed from the bottom. Bayley cleared the ball in front but kicked the ball into his own net! 1-0, Manchester City took the lead!
Balley became the first Manchester United player to score an own goal in the history of the Premier League Manchester derby. What's even more embarrassing is that Manchester United has conceded goals in 14 consecutive home games, setting the worst record in nearly 62 years.
In the 45th minute, Cancelo made an easy cross from the left, Maguire gave the ball, Luke Shaw also suddenly shorted, B-Silva took the opportunity to shoot at a low angle and break the net! Manchester City leads 2-0!
In the first half, De Gea made 5 saves and even blocked a "quasi-owned" by Lindelof with his legs. But facing such a sleepwalking defensive state of the teammates, the Spanish goalkeeper was obviously helpless.
When Manchester United fell behind 2 goals, coach Solskjaer sat in the coach's seat, hugging his legs and staring blankly.
According to a live tracking report issued by Manchester City's team reporter Jonathan Smith, "At the end of the first half, Old Trafford was surrounded by booing."
In the end, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-0, temporarily surpassing Liverpool and rose to the second seat. According to official statistics from the Premier League, Manchester City has won 8 games at Old Trafford Stadium , also surpassing Liverpool and becoming the team with the most away wins against Manchester United in Premier League history.
Facing BIG6 three times this season, Manchester United only won Tottenham , and lost 0-5 and 0-2 against Liverpool and Manchester City at home, and their performance was a disaster. Before the game, when asked if Manchester City could surpass Manchester United on the list of Premier League champions, Solskjaer said: "I don't think so. We must respect their achievements in the past 10 years, especially in the last 4 or 5 years, in England and Europe. But we are Manchester United, we will always come back. I think we are still the number one club in Manchester , and it may also be the number one club in the world." Tonight, after making this bold statement, Solskjaer was slapped in the face by reality.
