Manchester United on Saturday, January 14, staged a stunning late turnaround after coming from behind to beat Manchester City in a dramatic Premier League derby at Old Trafford. Jack Grealish had put City ahead after coming off the bench but late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford grabbed the win for United. Erik ten Hag’s side drew level in contentious fashion with 12 minutes left as Bruno Fernandes scored despite the presence of Marcus Rashford in an offside position. City’s protest that he had interfered with the play was ignored despite the flag going up. Rashford was the central figure again four minutes later when he swept in substitute Alejandro Garnacho’s cross to move United ahead in the scoreline. This is coming four months after the Red Devils were chastened and bruised following a 6-3 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad stadium. Manchester United has now won nine-straight games in all competitions and five straight in the Premier League. They now have 38 points and are just one point behind second-place Manchester City who are 5 points behind league leaders, Arsenal.
