00:00After days of anticipation, we're finally here, a truly unforgettable occasion, worthy of a packed stadium.
00:07You won't want to miss a second of it.
00:21A warm welcome to Old Trafford.
00:23I'm your commentator Guy Mowbray, and I'm delighted to have Stuart Robson's expertise alongside me.
00:29And we've got action from the Premier League here today.
00:32It's Manchester United versus Manchester City.
00:35The scene is set, two good teams, a great playing surface and a vibrant atmosphere.
00:39It has all the ingredients for a really exciting game.
00:42Casemiro, number eight, Bruno Fernandes.
00:47And with the main team, Brian Mblimo.
00:59We're great.
01:08We're great.
01:11You're well done.
01:14Thanks for processing.
01:16We're part of the tonight.
01:18We're probably not.
01:21We're all right.
01:21We're all right.
01:23We're all right.
01:24Here's how Manchester United line up.
01:36Luke Shaw starts alongside Matthijs de Ligt in central defence.
01:40Bruno Fernandes plays alongside Casemiro in the heart of midfield.
01:44And they're playing with just one up front.
01:46This is the Manchester City starting 11.
01:55Gianluigi Donnarumma is in goal.
01:57Ruben Diaz starts alongside Yoshiko Guardiol as the centre-backs.
02:01Phil Foden plays alongside Rodri in the middle of the park.
02:04And the main man in attack is Erling Haaland.
02:16There's the first touch, and we're underway.
02:35Tijani Rinders.
02:37This could be threatening.
02:39Promising attack, but only to a point.
02:44And they might be in.
02:46The effort's shut out.
02:51Well, you can't underestimate a block like that.
02:54Matthijs Cunha.
03:10Nunez.
03:13Now with Foden.
03:16Rodri.
03:22Grinders.
03:23And this could be.
03:24And the goalkeeper does what he's there to do.
03:27Delivered into the box.
03:40Delivered into the box.
03:46Really well done.
03:47This could lead to something.
03:48And there it is.
03:49The goal that's broken the Derby deadlock and stunned this stadium.
03:58Well, here it is again.
04:10And the defending simply isn't good enough.
04:12They have to react quicker, deal with the danger, and show more urgency.
04:16None of which they did.
04:17And that's the result.
04:19And that's the result.
04:25So it's 1-0 as the game restarts.
04:40Going hand.
04:48Nicely played through.
04:51And denied by a top-draw tackle.
04:54Oh, what a tackle that was.
04:56Bermot.
04:58Might get caught on the break here.
05:01Just needs the composure now.
05:03And it's there.
05:05The lead didn't last long.
05:06They're back level already.
05:08Well, just look at this again.
05:16The speed of counter-attack is so impressive.
05:18And then through on goal, he just goes to power and smashes it past the keeper.
05:22There's no stopping that.
05:23What a great finish.
05:24So it's 1-1 as the ball gets rolling again.
05:43Mateus Nunez.
05:49On they go under no real pressure.
05:54Chance for the lead.
05:56And it's taken away.
05:58Terrific.
06:06An attack of genuine promise now.
06:09And he's in now.
06:11And there is proof that pure force isn't always the answer.
06:15It needed a more subtle touch.
06:17This is the message for Alan Kennedy.
06:25Alan, happy birthday.
06:27From your friend Jonathan Fish.
06:29And Bermot.
06:34Now, what can they do from here?
06:37Oh, real opportunity.
06:39Up the upright.
06:42Road to goal has ended up being a road to nowhere.
06:44Well, United could easily be leading now.
06:48They certainly look threatening.
06:50You just sense a goal is coming here.
06:52Might there be left to rue that one not going in?
06:58Looking to put the cross in.
07:00That is where it ends.
07:02Well, no chance there.
07:03That was a good bit of defending.
07:04That was a good point.
07:09Czesko.
07:12On he goes.
07:14Terrific.
07:17And he's won the ball to stop the goal.
07:23Well, look at the room.
07:25They've got to attack now.
07:27And that goes out for a throw.
07:28Beaten easily here.
07:40For the lead here.
07:42Oh, what a tackle to break up the play.
07:44Well, he's found touchline, not teammate.
08:00That's unfortunate.
08:01Phil Foden.
08:10Tijani Reinders.
08:12A good spell of patient possession.
08:15But unable to find the killer pass in the end.
08:18A chance now for a quick transition.
08:20Beatsby Parker here.
08:24Mateus Cunha.
08:25From a goal down to a goal in front.
08:28It's one of those days when everything is happening very, very quickly.
08:37Well, just look at the set-up here.
08:39It's such a clever back heel.
08:40And the finish is clinical.
08:42He just makes it look so easy, doesn't he?
08:43Well, that reaction says it all.
08:55That's such an important goal in this game.
09:09And away we go again at 2-1.
09:13Foden.
09:23That's a good ball.
09:27How can he equalise?
09:29And there's the equaliser.
09:31The advantage was not held for long.
09:40They just didn't deal with the threat, did they?
09:42It's a poor goal to concede.
09:58So after a dramatic equaliser, the match resumes all square.
10:02It's a good try and only just wide of the mark.
10:27Turn around in possession.
10:45Excellent positioning.
10:46Mateus Cunha.
11:01Intercepted with ease.
11:02Well, not what he was looking for there.
11:11Mateus Cunha.
11:12What a chance here.
11:18Brilliant.
11:19Great save.
11:20You're absolutely right.
11:21What a save that is.
11:22He's reacted so quickly.
11:36Casimiro.
11:37Decent chance.
11:39So one for the team there.
11:40All given away.
11:49Gifted.
11:50Well, now they could spring the trap.
11:56Could be something on.
11:57And with that, the first half comes to an end here in Manchester.
12:12And with all the players we're watching today, would you agree that he'd certainly get good marks so far?
12:18Well, he stepped forward for his team with the equaliser.
12:20It could prove to be the key turning point in this contest, as they haven't been at their best today.
12:25You do feel they need to find another gear in the second half, though, if they are to go on and win it.
12:29Off we go.
12:40The second half underway.
12:41Fernandes.
12:54Czeszko
13:05Surely someone's got to do something about this
13:12Jeremy Dokun
13:17Pushing forward with options available now
13:25Rodri
13:29Goes on past the defender
13:33That was seen all the way
13:36And the save is made
13:37On the score level
13:39But maybe a chance for City to take the lead from the corner
13:47Played into the box
13:51Czeszko
14:00Ryan and Bermut
14:08Opportunity now
14:09It's in
14:10That gives them the lead
14:12And well deserved you have to say
14:14Well as you can see
14:19He just about gets that right
14:21Some would say it's slightly lucky
14:22I would say it's perfect placement
14:24The game kicks off with the score now 3-2
14:39Foden
14:41Guardiol
14:48Rodri
14:50Harland
15:07Positive play on the front foot
15:11This has to be
15:13And it's in
15:15The lead has gone in an instant
15:18And we're all square again
15:19Well he wasn't going to waste this chance
15:351v1 against the keeper
15:36And he slots it away with great confidence
15:38That's a good finish
15:40So level pegging once more
15:54It's 3-0
15:55Phil Foden
15:57Kasemira
16:01Czeszko
16:04Now this has to be
16:06They've got another
16:07And he's got another
16:09Two for the game
16:10Well just look at this again
16:26He moves the ball quickly
16:27He gets beyond his marker
16:28And he keeps his composure
16:30It's an excellent finish
16:31Another goal means another kick off
16:58At 4-3 now
16:59Mamouche
17:07And there's the benefit of working to win the ball
17:16Grinders
17:20And it's on now
17:22And he kept that out
17:25He had no right to say that
17:26Did he
17:27Wonderful stop
17:28Over it comes
17:49Burmo
17:55Now Matthias Cunha
17:58And Burmo
18:01And it's been cut out
18:05There's the turnover
18:06Really good pass
18:13Harland
18:18Harland
18:18Just square things up
18:21Well he's kept that out nicely
18:24Fernandes
18:31City recovering possession well
18:34Phil Foden
18:38Phil Foden
18:39Ryan and Burmo
18:46Grinders
18:51And on to Harland
18:54Real chance
18:59And it's not missed by that much
19:01Yeah
19:01Just couldn't keep it on target
19:03Well yes
19:06He did see it
19:07It's going to be a booking
19:08Well the referee wasn't going to forget that
19:10Was he
19:10Substitution for Manchester City
19:13He's made a real difference today
19:15The manager now bringing him off
19:16After a solid shift
19:18The ball given away
19:28Too easy
19:29And a cross that could be dangerous
19:38It's ended up in the safe hands of the goalkeeper
19:42We need to find a way to that late leveller
19:44And this could be it
19:45Mateus Cunha
19:54Now with Fernandes
19:57United with Witt here
20:01Ryan and Burmo
20:07Now with Casemiro
20:10Teeing up the chance now
20:13Oh no doubt
20:15He's going into the book for that one
20:16Well just a yellow
20:24Well I thought he was off there
20:25And here comes a change
20:35Missing position this
20:44Oh penalty given
21:02And a huge chance
21:03To finish this off
21:04Well no card
21:08Just a warning
21:09And a fair few protests
21:11But a lot of referees
21:12Would have booked him there
21:13But I'm with him on this one
21:14No yellow card for me
21:16To finish it off here
21:25And there it is
21:28Two goals to the good now
21:30And surely
21:31That will settle it for them
21:33The one they really want to win
21:34Well he gambled and got it wrong
21:49Made it too easy for the striker here
21:51To the ball rolling again
22:12In an incredible match
22:13Haaland
22:15A turnaround in possession
22:18Excellent positioning
22:20Fernandes
22:25Good strong tackle
22:32It will be a throw in
22:33And a throw
22:44Not reaching its destination
22:46Decent looking attack this
22:48Oh surely
22:49Got behind it
22:51And kept it out
22:52It's played in now
23:09And there still could be trouble here
23:12Rodri
23:16Doku
23:18City being afforded
23:21Too much space here
23:22There's the cut inside
23:26And the ballkeeper has that
23:29And keeps it in his grasp
23:31A miscue in the final third there
23:40And this could be the moment
23:42For a counter
23:42They've lost it
23:45A promising break fades away
23:47Omar Mamouche
23:56Oh real opportunity
23:58It's in
23:59Now have they got the belief
24:01And the time
24:02To get another
24:03And he's going to go in the book
24:12He's earned that with a clumsy challenge
24:14We'll just look at the bend
24:17He puts on this
24:17It's good technique
24:18And perfect placement
24:19That's a top quality finish
24:21And the game comes to an end
24:27With Manchester United
24:28In positive mood
24:29Your thoughts on their performance
24:31There wasn't much in it
24:32To be honest
24:33Really competitive game
24:34With chances at both ends
24:35But they probably just about
24:36Edged it overall
24:37And deserved the result
24:38In the end
24:38Well there are good games
24:46And then there are games like that
24:47He surely has been the player
24:49Who's most caught the eye today
24:50Well what more could you ask for
24:52His build up play was clever
24:54His movement was dynamic
24:55And he scored a couple of goals
24:57What a player he is
24:58He scored a couple of goals
25:09You
