Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored in four second-half minutes as Manchester United roared back for a 2-1 victory over Manchester City
Marcus Rashford: who else? Thestriker scored a 16th goal in a scintillating season and a seismic 82nd-minute derby winner that gave Erik ten Hag’s team a memorable victory.
It came when Alejandro Garnacho, on as a replacement, twisted and turned in Manchester City’s area before rolling the ball into Rashford who was never going to miss.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhone or the Google Play store on Android by searching for 'The Guardian'.In the Guardian app, tap the Menu button at the bottom right, then go to Settings , then Notifications.
That strike was on the hour and threw down a challenge to United: after dominating for long swathes of this 189th derby could they recover poise and find a way back? The answer was resounding yes to the first and second, in a response that first featured Bruno Fernades equalising. This came when Casemiro flighted a sweet pass in behind City. Rashford was offside but did not touch the ball and Fernandes ran in and smashed home. Initially the flag went up and a furious Fernandes led the protests to the assistant referee. But, after a pause, the finish was ruled fair – which was correct – much to United’s delight.
Even better followed, via Rashford, to send the Old Trafford in to raptures. The home crowd was a wall of noise, those in blue hushed by the breathtaking way Ten Hag’s side had refused to be cowed by the champions.
