Manchester City stunned Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford as new manager Enzo Maresca led his 10-man side to a remarkable victory. Maresca's side confidently defended their lead after Phil Foden's red card on the 23rd minute, with Erling Haaland scoring the winning goal after VAR deemed Enzo Fernandez did not interfere with play.

Maresca praised his new-look side's defensive organization and tactical discipline, which allowed them to counter-attack with ease. The win keeps City in contention for the Premier League title, just four points behind leaders Arsenal. United, however, struggled to compete with City's financial muscle, failing to sign top talent to match the Abu Dhabi-backed club.
