Manchester City beat Manchester United 1–0 at Old Trafford on Sunday in the Premier League Manchester derby, extending a perfect start to the season under Enzo Maresca.
The visitors played more than 70 minutes with 10 men after Phil Foden was shown a straight red card around the 23rd minute for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes. Despite the numerical disadvantage, City held firm as United struck the woodwork twice, through a Marcus Rashford free-kick and a Kobbie Mainoo shot.
Erling Haaland scored the winner around the hour mark. The goal stood after a lengthy VAR check amid a controversial offside debate involving Enzo Fernandez in the build-up, according to match reports.
The result left City with four wins from four in the Premier League and level with Arsenal at the top of the table. Reporting was drawn from BBC Sport, Sky Sports and ESPN match coverage of the 13 September 2026 fixture.
