Haaland goal sees 10-man City beat United in controversial Manchester derby
Phil Foden is sent off for City, but Erling Haaland's controversial goal settles Manchester derby 1-0 at United.
Al Jazeera•
Erling Haaland has fired 10-man Manchester City to a memorable 1-0 victory over Manchester United despite Phil Foden’s first-half red card to extend a perfect start to manager Enzo Maresca’s reign.
Foden kicked out at United captain Bruno Fernandes on 23 minutes to give the visitors a mountain to climb.
But a new-look City were up to the challenge as the near 250 million-pound ($340m) midfield pairing of Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez proved their worth.
City will argue Fernandes should also have seen red as he fouled Foden and then kicked him in the back.
