LONDON – In a thrilling end on Saturday at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford scored the game-winning goal as Manchester United rallied from behind to defeat Manchester City 2-1 and move up to third in the Premier League.
After dealing a serious blow to City‘s chances of regaining the crown, Erik ten Hag‘s team scored twice in the closing 12 minutes to pull within one point of their local rivals in the standings.
When Jack Grealish came off the bench and gave the visitors the lead, Pep Guardiola‘s team appeared to be winning.
However, Bruno Fernandes‘ contentious equaliser changed the momentum of the game, and four minutes later Rashford scored for the seventh straight game at Old Trafford.
In the event that Arsenal defeat Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday, City would suddenly drop eight points below Tottenham.
