The Etihad Stadium witnessed a very exciting and enjoyable scenario in the Manchester derby between City and United, which was held between them in the 16th round of the English Premier League.
Most of the match events were boring, as the first half did not witness any noteworthy opportunities except for the goal that Josko Gvardiol scored for Manchester City in the 34th minute.

But in the last minutes of the match, things flared up violently, and Pep Guardiola was the victim again.
It started with the referee’s decision to award a penalty kick to Manchester United, which Bruno Fernandes had to execute and brought the Red Devils an equalizer in the 86th minute.

Guardiola was seen again cutting his face in an expression of losing his temper after this exciting scenario.
This is City’s eighth defeat in the last 11 matches in all competitions, noting that they have only won once, which was against Nottingham Forest, and drawn twice against Feyenoord and Crystal Palace.
With this result, Manchester United raised its score to 22 points in 12th place, while City’s score froze at 27 points in fifth place.
