Manchester City beat Manchester United 0-1 in the Premier League, Erling Haaland's second-half goal enough even after Phil Foden was sent off. City played more than an hour with 10 men at Old Trafford and still took the points.

Match Summary

Phil Foden was shown a red card after 23 minutes, and that dismissal framed everything that followed. Manchester United had a man extra and a chance to take control. They pushed without finding a first-half goal. City stayed organised, and the teams reached the interval still level.

United held more of the ball after the restart and kept City under pressure. The visitors answered with the only goal of the match when Erling Haaland scored in the 60th minute. That strike put 10-man City in front. United continued to come forward, but they could not force an equaliser. Late bookings for Josko Gvardiol, Harry Maguire and Enzo Fernández marked a tense finish as City saw the result out.

Key Moments

Foden's red card was the first swing. It should have opened the pitch for United, yet they reached half-time still level and never led. Haaland's finish after the hour was decisive because a 10-man side only needed to protect a one-goal lead from that point. United's 15 shots yielded just two on target, which is why extra time on the ball did not become an equaliser.

Match Statistics

United finished with 54 percent of possession and outshot Manchester City 15 to 6, but shots on target were level at two apiece. Expected goals were recorded at 0 for both teams. Corners finished 6-7 to City. United picked up one yellow card and no reds. City collected two yellows and the red card that left them a player short for most of the afternoon.

Manchester City sit second in the Premier League with 9 points from 3 matches and a goal difference of 5. They have three wins in their last three. Manchester United are 13th with 4 points from 3 matches and a goal difference of 1, after one win, one draw and one loss in their last three. The sides are five points apart.
