    FT: Man United 2-0 Man City. What a win for United and what a performance. A totally desevred win with goals from Martial and McTominay. Play like that and United will make the Champions League. City's loss means that Liverpool are one step closer to winning the league.
  • 96'
    WHAT A WAY TO END THE MATCH!!!!! Ederson throws the ball to no one and from 35 yards out, McTominay tries his luck and scores into the empty net. What a game.
  • 96'
    MCTOMINAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • 94'
    And a huge roar around Old Trafford as McTominay is fouled by Sterling. Looks like that will be it.

    City throwing everything at it to get an equaliser.

  • 71'
    Maguire heads wide from the following corner.
  • 70'

    Fiden has a shot from far out that De Gea tips over.
  • 53'
    United are still threatening. They will be hoping for another goal to make things more secure.
  • 49'
    Mistake from Ederson. The ball is passed back to him, he takes a bad touch and before Martial manages to tap it in, the Brazilian clears it. That's 2 mistakes from Ederson today.
  • 48'
    Aguero is played by Sterling and then slots it past De Gea. He was just offisde.
  • 46'
    And we're back!!!!
  • 45'
    HT: Man Utd 1-0 Man City. United are in front and deservedly so, every time they attack they look like they're going to score. Bruno Fernandes has been a godsend for United.

    Fred is booked for diving to win a penalty.
  • 39'
    Amazing skill from Wan-Bissaka to beat Zinchenko. Taxi for Zinchenko!!!
  • 38'
    A real joy to watch United. This could, of course, have repercussions in Liverpool as they could win the league earlier than they thought.
  • 33'
    Rodrigo is shown a yellow card.
  • 32'
    It's like watching the United of old. Williams gets down the wing and crosses for Fernandes who heads it wide.
  • 31'
    And United have the lead. Fernandes chips it to Martial in the box, and he unleashes a volley that beats Ederson at his front post and goes through his hands. The Brazilian should have definitely done better but United won't care.

Goaaaaaal!

    Fernandinho is booked for his protests after Fernandes won a free-kick.
  • 28'
    Very greedy from Martial. Fernandinho makes a mistake, leaving Martial to bear down on goal. He has Fernandes at the penalty spot who just has to put it past Ederson, but he shoots from a tight angle straight at the City keeper. James was also free.
  • 25'
    Fernandes steps up and hits the wall.
  • 24'
    James is fouled right at the edge of the box. Good chance for Fernandes (presumably).
  • 23'
    Martial has a shot blocked inside the box. If it wasn't blocked it would have went on target.
  • 17'
    68% possession for City so far. They are having most of the ball.
  • 16'
    Good chance for United. Fred plays it to Fernandes, he plays it through to James in the box but the Welshman hits it straight at Ederson.
  • 15'
    Just Sterling's chance so far. United not threatened yet.
  • 10'
    Foden finds Sterling inside the box, he tries to find the far post but De Gea is equal to it and gets down to parry it away.
  • 8'
    United starting the brightest, City been getting back into the match. Still no chances.
  • 4'
    Slack pass from Zinchenko and Martial is almost through, but his mistake is mopped up.
  • 2'
    Really looking forward to this one. Both teams will be looking for the win, and also for derby rights.
