A 10-man Manchester City beat Man Utd at Old Trafford. The visitors were reduced to 10 players halfway through the first half as Michael Oliver showed Phil Foden a red card for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes. Man City have a perfect record so far this season, with victories over Bournemouth, Palace, Coventry and now Man Utd. It’s 100% for City but 100% also for Enzo Maresca, who’s shown early in his tenure his desire to continue Pep Guardiola’s approach at Man City. Meanwhile: In two pivotal minutes, David Raya saved a penalty and Bruno Guimaraes scored a superb first goal for Arsenal. Bukayo Saka added a stoppage-time penalty to add gloss to the win. These result leave both teams on 12 points, four ahead of the next best team Hull City. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
