what a ####ing glorious day. I fully understand that the focus is on Rashfords role during the first United goal, but in all honesty, that probably makes it even sweeter lol. And it doesn't change the fact that xG was clearly in favour of United (2.07 to 0.76), which is remarkable in a game between these two teams. Remember, City completely destroyed United in a 6-3 game a couple of months ago ... today they barely had any chances. Ten Hag really has worked wonders in short time, and he's completely changed team morale too. What was nothing more than a group of individualists a few months ago now looks like a cohesive team of players that work for each other. Beating all of Klopp, Guardiola, Conte and Arteta in the first half of the season is pretty sweet too.
I don't care for any title talk, I don't think United is there yet. Arsenal have been remarkably stable this season and City has so much quality, it's hard not to imagine them going on a run at some point. But yeah, sitting 10 points ahead of Liverpool and 13 ahead of Chelsea is bloody amazing.
