Premier League, Round 4Manchester UnitedMUN 0 1 Full Time Manchester CityMCI Venue Old Trafford Erling Haaland 60Manchester City claimed derby day glory at Old Trafford despite Phil Fodens red card as Erling Haalands controversial second-half goal proved enough for a 1-0 win over Manchester United. A loss of composure from Foden looked as if it might condemn City to a first loss of the season. Fodens response to being kicked while on the turf by Bruno Fernandes was to kick the Portuguese in the stomach, and referee Michael Oliver showed no hesitation in brandishing a red.Yet City markedly grew into the game after going a man down, with an anaemic United attack largely reduced to shots from distance, albeit one did go agonisingly close to finding the net as Kobbie Mainoos second-half drive hit the post.And Enzo Marescas side were rewarded for their efforts in the face of self-enforced adversity, with Pep Guardiolas successor tasting victory as boss in very contentious circumstances.Citys celebrations were initially cut short by the offside flag after Haaland found the top-left corner by meeting Josko Gvardiols deflected left-wing cross with a wonderfully judged close-range finish.However, after a lengthy VAR check, it was deemed Haaland was being played onside by Patrick Dorgu. Enzo Fernandez, who was clearly offside, was ruled not to be interfering with player despite attacking the delivery while being marked by Lisandro Martinez.That decision sparked delirium in the corner of Old Trafford decked in light blue, and the only cheers that followed thereafter came from the City fans as United laboured in their futile search for an equaliser.Salvation looked set to arrive for United when Fernandes threaded a superb pass through to Bryan Mbeumo, but Gianluigi Donnarumma delivered a reminder of his goalkeeping quality with a stunning save.A derby win that will taste particularly sweet sees City keep pace with defending Premier League champions Arsenal with four wins from four. United, meanwhile, are already eight points adrift of that pair in a hugely underwhelming start to Michael Carricks first full season.More to follow Manchester United Manchester City 0 Goals 1 55% Possession 45% 16 Total Shots 6 3 Shots on Target 2 9 Shots off Target 1 6 Corners 7 17 Fouls 10 4 Offsides 1 1 Yellow Cards 2 0 Red Cards 1 1 Saves 3 472 Passes 396 411 Passes Completed 326 87% Pass Accuracy 82% Home Away Table of ContentsThe Premier League TableUpcoming fixtures for Manchester United and Manchester CityThe Premier League Table Premier League 2026 England #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 4 1 Arsenal440081712 W W W W 2 Manchester City33007259 W W W 3 Hull City42205238 D D W W 4 Chelsea421110917 D L W W 5 Brentford41307436 D D D W 6 Liverpool41306426 D W D D 7 Everton41305326 D D D W 8 Ipswich4202710-36 W L L W 9 Newcastle31206425 D W D 10 Leeds31203215 D D W 11 Nottingham Forest41214405 W D D L 12 Brighton31118534 W D L 13 Manchester United31117614 L D W 14 Sunderland411235-24 L D W L 15 Bournemouth403167-13 D D D L 16 Crystal Palace4103611-53 L W L L 17 Tottenham402205-52 D D L L 18 Fulham401347-31 D L L L 19 Aston Villa401317-61 L D L L 20 Coventry300305-50 L L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation Championship Upcoming fixtures for Manchester United and Manchester City Upcoming Fixtures : Manchester United League Cup Manchester United MUN 20:00 2026-09-16 Brighton BRI Premier League Fulham FUL 16:30 2026-09-20 Manchester United MUN Premier League Manchester United MUN 17:30 2026-10-10 Tottenham TOT UEFA Champions League Atletico Madrid ATM 20:00 2026-10-13 Manchester United MUN Premier League Leeds LEE 14:00 2026-10-18 Manchester United MUN Upcoming Fixtures : Manchester City League Cup Manchester City MCI 19:30 2026-09-17 Norwich NOR Premier League Manchester City MCI 14:00 2026-09-20 Sunderland SUN Premier League Liverpool LIV 16:30 2026-10-11 Manchester City MCI UEFA Champions League Manchester City MCI 20:00 2026-10-14 Paris Saint Germain PSG Premier League Manchester City MCI 15:00 2026-10-17 Ipswich IPS Add us as a preferred source on Google If you enjoy reading this article, you can help support our independent football journalism by adding 101 Great Goals as a preferred source You Should Also Read Levante 2-4 Barcelona: Yamal scores twice as champions continue perfect start Nicholas McGee 13th September, 2026 WATCH: Phil Foden sees red as Manchester City reduced to 10 men against Manchester United Jon Fisher 13th September, 2026 LIVE Manchester United v Manchester City: Commentary, updates, goals and stats Jon Fisher 13th September, 2026 Lampard rues difficult afternoon as Coventry hammered by rampant Brighton Jon Fisher 13th September, 2026 WATCH: Xavi Espart scores first Barcelona goal as champions stroll against Levante Nicholas McGee 13th September, 2026 Coventry 0-5 Brighton: Sky Blues implode as Awoniyi sees red on shocking afternoon for Frank Lampard Jon Fisher 13th September, 2026
