It has been quite some time current season of EPL has started, but Sunday match between arch rivals Manchester City and Manchester United was the biggest entertaining showdown in the event so far. In fact, the match proved to be a path breaker when City almost crushed their neighbors by 4-1. At the beginning, no one had imagined anything like this; hence as the scorecard was growing in City favor, more and more fans were joining the match by means of TV, stadium, radio commentary, and all. The match was also an eye opener for others where City warned everyone they are back to reclaim their silverware they lost to United last year. On the other side, United, who has never been defeated with such a difference at Etihad Stadium since 2004, is also stunned to see their game. Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, and Samir Nasri shared the pride for The Citizens by putting their arch rivals on a back foot right from the beginning; Aguero scored twice while other two added two more. Newly appointed David Moyes would have been feeling the same coyness his former legendary Sir Alex Ferguson felt back in 1989 when conquered by 5-1 at Maine Road.
Though, City scored four goals, it doesn’t mean their attack was powerful; perhaps United defense was weak. Their mega investment on players like Marouane Fellaini proved to be completely ineffective. However, Rooney tried to put some resistance during the last moments but it was too late by then. Notwithstanding with the match result, Wayne Rooney has now become the highest goal scorer in Manchester derbies with eleven goals under his belt. For City, Pellegrini is doing the finest job after a sack of his former who could not defend their league title in the last season. With an impressive show, City is now on third place with seven goals and ten points on the cart while Arsenal and Tottenham are still ahead for their one extra win.
It was possibly the finest performance by Ferran Soriano club in last many seasons and that is why all the fans including players, manager, coach, and big boss are jubilant at the moment. This victory has also raised the expectations making next few matches a challenge for The Blues where they would have to prove they are really better than others and most aggressive contender for the league title this season. Next City match is with Aston Villa on Saturday and hopefully we’ll see a new team full of energy to triumph anyone coming on their way!
