Gary Neville slammed Brazilian winger Antony as ’embarassing’ after lashing out at Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku. In the closing moments of the Manchester derby, itwas clear that United’s frustration was growing as they ended the match goalless to City’s three on the scoresheet. After a foul on Doku, Antony appeared to be angered by the Belgian winger. Pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was quick to comment: ‘Antony just has a kick out at Doku. On the incident with Doku, Neville called it: ‘Ridiculous and embarrassing from Antony. I’d just send him off. ‘United have gone missing in the second…
A brace by Erling Haaland either side of half-time, followed by a Phil Foden tap-in, created by the Norwegian, settled the derby in the pouring rain. The result ends a run of three successive victories for Erik ten Hag’s team, who were on the wrong end of a major VAR decision in the first half, allowing Haaland to open the scoring from the spot. FIRST HALF – VAR’S BIG CALL The Reds kicked off with a chorus of “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” still ringing around the Theatre of Dreams, following a minute of applause as part of our pre-match commemorations of…
Time for me to go off and come up with a Talking Point about this game. Thanks for your company, correspondence and mild expressions of despair. I’ll be back on Saturday lunchtime, when United try to bounce back at Fulham. Before that, they entertain Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, another game they could easily mess up, while City get a well-earned week off. In the meantime, do have a look at Jamie Jackson’s match report. “I can’t see Ten Hag lasting the season out at the moment,” says Kevin Wilson. “Maybe he’d be better off (though not financially!) going back to…
Manchester United have succumbed to yet another defeat in the Manchester derby, with Pep Guardiola’s men walking away from the 191st derby with a win, ensuring they have been victorious in five of the last six. United have now lost five of their opening ten games in the Premier League and the pressure is mounting on Erik ten Hag despite three straight wins before this weekend. United were good in the opening exchanges of the game on Sunday but City eventually gained control and from that point, the Reds never looked like threatening.

Manchester United fans are furious at the penalty decision that’s just gone against the Red Devils in the Manchester derby. Rasmus Hojlund was deemed to have fouled Rodri in the penalty box by gripping onto the Spaniard – but it was rather soft. The referee didn’t even bat an eyelid, but it was VAR who brought it back to give the Cityzens a pen which allowed them to go one goal to the good. Angry Man Utd fans make penalty comparison United fans are all rightly furious after the decision and are all making the same comparison to a decision…
Erling Haaland’s double helped Manchester City secure derby day delight as lifeless rivals Manchester United were outclassed in an embarrassing home defeat. The eyes of the footballing world were on Old Trafford as the neighbours met in the 191st Manchester derby and first since Pep Guardiola’s men matched their 1999 treble triumph. Haaland scored a spot-kick and unmarked header before playing in Phil Foden to wrap up 3-0 victory, yet City’s dominance was far greater than the scoreline suggests. It was an abrupt end to an unconvincing three-match winning run in all competitions for Erik ten Hag’s United, who have now lost five of their 10 opening Premier…

And they capped off the win late in the second period as Mohamed Salah capitalised on a defensive mix-up to net his 10th goal of the campaign. Jota’s goal was followed by a poignant celebration in which he held up the shirt of teammate Luis Diaz, whose parents were kidnapped overnight in his native Colombia. The…
Liverpool maintained its perfect home record this season as it beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at Anfield. With 10 games gone in the Premier League campaign, the Reds are in a very good position in the top four. Jürgen Klopp’s side is just three points off leaders Tottenham, with Arsenal sitting one point ahead. Over the next six fixtures though, the Reds could make some incisive moves. Next up for Liverpool is a trip to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. In terms of the league though, the Reds should be confident of taking maximum points from their next two…
