Rashford Wins Manchester Derby for United
Red Devils Come from Behind to Claim Historic Victory
Marcus Rashford continued his remarkable scoring run, netting the winner in Manchester United's thrilling 2-1 victory over rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby. The win marked a stunning comeback for United, who had trailed by a goal to Phil Foden in the first half.
Rashford's Scoring Prowess
Rashford, who has established himself as a key figure in United's resurgence, scored his 13th goal in his last 15 appearances for the club. His stunning strike in the 82nd minute secured the three points and sparked jubilation among the home crowd.
Haaland's Impact
Despite Rashford's heroics, Manchester City's Erling Haaland also made a significant impact. The Norwegian striker scored City's first goal, showcasing his clinical finishing ability. Haaland has now scored 20 goals in his first 15 Premier League appearances, proving to be a formidable addition to Pep Guardiola's squad.
Historical Significance
The victory was particularly significant for Manchester United, as it ended Manchester City's record of winning more Premier League away games against them than any other side. With seven previous wins at Old Trafford, City had established themselves as dominant visitors in the rivalry.
The result will provide a major boost to United's hopes of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, City will be disappointed to have dropped points in the title race but will remain confident in their ability to challenge Arsenal at the summit of the table.
