Haaland scores controversial derby winner for Man City after Foden red

BREAKING: Erling Haaland scores a controversial winner as 10-man Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, after Phil Foden's first-half red card.

Ten-man Manchester City have won the derby at Old Trafford.

One nil, and of course it was Erling Haaland, with a winner United fans will be calling controversial for the next decade. There he is, arms raised in front of a very quiet home crowd, doing what he does even with his team a man down.

Because remember, City lost Phil Foden to a red card in the first half. Down to ten, away at Old Trafford, most teams would shut the door and pray for a point. Pep Guardiola's side went and took all three instead. That's either tactical genius or Haaland just refusing to read the situation, and honestly it's probably both.

Here's what will sting in the red half of Manchester. United had an extra man for most of the match, at home, in a derby, and never scored. Beaten one nil by ten men.
