Soccer2017 Manchester Derby
FINAL SCORE: MANCHESTER UNITED-2 | MANCHESTER CITY-0
Five thousand miles away from home, Manchester United took the local bragging rights in the first ever derby to played outside England.
After a relatively even first half-hour, United took control of the tie with two goals in the space of two minutes just before half-time.
Lukaku opened the scoring in the 37th minute, meeting a long ball in front of City goalkeeper Ederson – who had unwisely sprinted out of his box in an effort to clear – before finishing on the half-volley from a tight angle.
Two minutes later, rash defending became Rashford scoring, as England international Marcus latched onto Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s pass and, left all alone on the right of the City penalty area, guided the ball beyond Ederson.
