Manchester is Red...Blue? No...Wait until 100 years later

Manchester City could have won the match in the second half. With 56% ball possession, Manchester City was dominating the game but they could only produce two goals in nine on goal attempts while Manchester United converted all three on goal chances. But in the final minutes, after they had scored the equalizing goal, they were on a high and could really score another to win the game. The danger was quite real until that fantastic RVP free-kick goal which was a bit lucky with the deflection or else Hart might be able to deal with it. I am happy that my team won. But it was never an easy game. there are still many problems at the back that may cause hardship for the team in the coming games. Manchester City is a very strong team. They can crawl back the six points and fight again in the next Manchester Derby, just like what happened last season. I hope this time though that we will be the winner.

I think you almost right adhyz. You said that Mancio should guard RVP, and yes he became a nightmare for City. But, don't forget with MU's winger, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia! Both of them disturbed City's defence with their movement and their passing so Wayne Rooney could make 2 goals on first half and MU leaded by 2 goals before second half

I thought it was a Mancini blunder that was to blame for the loss. With City already out of Champions League and three points behind United, you would have expected him to start with his best team. Instead he has Tevez on the bench and Ballotelli starts. It was only after they had gone 2-0 down and well into the second half that Mancini sends in Tevez. Tevez immediately changed the game with his runs and assisted in both the goals that led City to equalize at 2-2. For the final kick though it was a fantastic free kick, he was generously helped by his ex-Arsenal team-mate Samir Nasri who was hiding in the wall and stuck a lame foot, which had the deflection which took the ball past Hart. Cheers! Ram

It is always a good result to beat your cross-town rival especially if they are your closest challenger. Frankly speaking, Man Utd has been effective but they are poor in defence and midfield. Advantage now to them yes, but unless SAF do something about the shortfall, they might not have it so smooth sailing at the tail end of the season.

Don't know what happens with City. Maybe they got weak caused they're not progressing in any Europe competitions. Well, it should be their advantage than their opponents like MU or Chelsea. Meanwhile, it's good to see MU won this derby. Oh yeah!

Manchester is Red, not Blue, and yeah, it's already trending topic on twitter yesterday. even I don't see the match, I can guess MU lead the game. I saw in a glance when United lead 2-0, I though City will hard to chase the score.this result show that may be City will hard to keep the throphy. Van Persie will bring MU to the peak...

The game should have already been done and dusted after 70 minutes, as Man Utd had a goal incorrectly allowed for offside. I am happy that Man Utd win because I am a fan of the red side of manchester, but also because it's good for football. It goes to show that you can't just go around spending money on the best players and expect to win everything, you win games as a team. Hopefully Manchester United will go on to win the league!

Rooney and Van persie become a hero and made a dramatic win over Manchester city. It is really unbelievable for Manchester united win at last minute extra time. The super free kick from MU forward van persie brought a win straight 6 point clear and top of the table. It is huge win for Manchester to beat city to top of the table. Congrats to them.
