Sunday's Manchester Derby was highly anticipated by fans around the world, and even if the game was in jeopardy of not being played due to weather issues, neither team disappointed in what turned out to be one of the best games of the season so far.
After a disappointing first year as the team's coach, Pep Guardiola is starting to cement his legacy at the club. Today, he set a Premier League record while beating the Citizens' bitter rivals.

Manchester United fans will also remember this game, but maybe they won't do it so fondly. The Red Devils saw their 40-game unbeaten streak at home come to an end, and they will have to endure their city rivals mocking them due to this particular fact.
2 – Manchester United have conceded two goals at Old Trafford in the Premier League for just the second time under Jose Mourinho (also conceding two v Man City in September 2016). Flashback.

The rivalry between Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho had another chapter added to it, and needless to say, Mou will desperately seek for payback the next time he faces Pep's crew.
