On Sunday evening, the Manchester city derby took place, which was filled with passions and refereeing decisions that will be discussed all week.

Manchester United lost 0:1 to Manchester City in the derby.

In the 23rd minute, Phil Foden received a red card after kicking Bruno Fernandes in the groin while on the ground. The Portuguese also did not play the saintly role in this situation, as he first foully brought down the opponent.

The players' advantage did not help "the Devils" much. In the 60th minute, Erling Haaland scored, a goal that was confirmed only after a long VAR review.

Manchester United struggled to attack, but in the final minute, Bryan Mbeumo had a perfect chance to earn a point after a pass from Fernandes. His shot was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Michael Carrick's team has only 4 points after 4 rounds, while Maresco's squad is flawless.
