Pep Guardiola claimed local bragging rights over arch rival
Jose Mourinho after his Manchester City side upset United 2-1 in the first ever
Premier League clash between the pair.
Influential City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne opened the
scoring and provided an assist for Kelechi Iheanacho when his shot rebounded
off the post but a costly spill from debut keeper Claudio Bravo led to Zlatan
Ibrahimovic pulling a goal back before the interval.
Bravo was fortunate to escape punishment for a rash tackle
on Rooney, United substitute Marcus Rashford had a goal disallowed for offside
and De Bruyne hit the post for a second time before the so-called 'noisy
neighbours' held out for victory.
