Manchester United raised its score to 38 points in third place, while Man City’s balance froze at 39 points in the runner-up.

Man City appeared in the 24th minute, with a powerful shot from Haaland from inside the penalty area, which collided with the opponent’s defense.
United missed a real opportunity to open the scoring in the 34th minute, through Rashford’s complete solitude, through which he succeeded in dodging Ederson and hit a ground ball from inside the area, which was removed by Akanji.
And Rashford continued to be disturbed with a quick start on the left side in the 37th minute, through which Rodrigo skipped and reached the penalty area, and hit a ground ball that Ederson caught.
And Man City reappeared in the first minute of stoppage time, with a missile shot from Walker from outside the penalty area, which passed next to the post, to end the first half with a goalless draw.

Manchester United tried to return as a result of the match, with a shot from Wan Bissaka from outside the area in the 67th minute, which hit Aki and went out to a corner.
With United’s level declining in the second half, Ten Hag sought to revitalize the offensive side by pushing Garnacho at Eriksen’s expense in the 72nd minute, after he pushed Anthony instead of Martial between the two halves.
Manchester United scored the equalizing goal in the 78th minute after Casemiro sent a through ball to Rashford, who was in an offside position, leaving the ball to Fernandez, who fired from the edge of the area a ball that hit the net.
