Thanks to Phil Foden, Manchester City continues to follow in the footsteps of leader Liverpool. City fell behind 0-1 against Manchester United, but thanks to two goals from Foden and one from Haaland (who first made a huge miss) they still kept the three points at home. Kevin De Bruyne and co remain in the wake of leader Liverpool.

It was not the start they had hoped for at the Etihad Stadium in the Manchester Derby. Marcus Rashford gave Man United the lead after just eight minutes of play with a fantastic strike from outside the box that went off the crossbar.
