Manchester City staged a remarkable comeback to defeat their cross-town rivals, Manchester United, in a pulsating Premier League clash on Sunday evening.
Second-half goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland secured a notable victory for Manchester City, with Marcus Rashford managing a consolation goal for Manchester United.
The game saw Marcus Rashford score an early spectacular goal, followed by resilient defending to hold off Manchester City's advances as they equalized and took the lead in the second half.
Phil Foden's brace and Erling Haaland's late strike sealed the comeback for Pep Guardiola's side, keeping their Premier League title aspirations on track.
Following the match, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was asked about his team's chances of qualifying for the top four.
Reflecting on the outcome, Fernandes praised his team's dedication and defensive solidity but acknowledged that City's relentless pressure ultimately made the difference.
In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, he remarked, "I believe the team showed great commitment. We had our opportunities... From a chance that could have been ours, it ended up 1-1."
Discussing the challenging task of securing Champions League qualification, Fernandes emphasized the importance of bouncing back from setbacks.
"Every time we fail to win a game, it hurts the club," he emphasized. "We understand that our fate is not solely in our hands, as other teams must also drop points, but we must focus on our own performance."
