Last season, United lost both Manchester United derbies. But this season is a totally different case. United won both matches this season! What a improvement from last season! The first of the derby at Old Trafford was extremely thrilling. But this match was equally thrilling.
For the whole of the match, United dominated in every single aspect. They dominated possession. They had 15 shot at the goal, compared to City's 9. But the problem was, the Red Devils were unable to put the ball in to the back of the net of our city rivals. This was extremely disappointing. United would most of the time capitalise on our chances whenever we have one.
There were many close shaves in the game, and United were lucky not to concede any goals. Manchester City is the richest team in the world. And by winning two derbies in a row, we can prove that money cannot give you the best team in the world. Although United are one of the richest teams in the world, they do not splurge their money the way city does. We like to give young players or homegrown players a shot at trying to get their name on the first team's sheet. This is the correct way to build a great soccer team, and not take the easy way out by buying all the top players in the world.
This derby may be one of the most dramatic derbies in both clubs history. With just almost a minute left to play in the game, everyone thought that this derby was going to end in a draw. Then Paul Scholes popped out with a header to win the game. Of all people, Paul Scholes was the one to head the ball into the back of the net!
This match was crucial for United as they needed 3 points to continue their pursuit for the 19th premier league title and the fourth one in a row.
What a great derby!
