Manchester United and Manchester City faced each other in an exciting Premier League derby on Saturday 14th January 2023. The match, which took place at Old Trafford in Manchester, saw United come from behind to beat City 2-1.
The derby has a long history, with the first meeting between the two teams taking place in 1881. This time around, there were plenty of local players on show, with Manchester-born or raised players like Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden from United and Rico Lewis from City taking part.
The game was an exciting one, with chances for both teams. City striker Erling Haaland had a good chance to open the scoring in the first half, but was denied by an excellent save from United keeper David de Gea. City eventually took the lead just before half-time, courtesy of an own goal from Luke Shaw.
United responded in the second half, with an equalizer from Marcus Rashford in the 61st minute. Just ten minutes later, Bruno Fernandes scored the winner from the penalty spot, to the delight of the Old Trafford crowd.
It was a welcome result for United, who had gone seven games without a win in all competitions prior to the derby. With the win, United move to within four points of second-placed City, and maintain their slim chances of winning their first Premier League title since 2013.
The Manchester derby is always a highlight of the season, and this game was no different. With two of the best teams in the league, and plenty of talented local players on show, it was a match to remember.
