What happened. Manchester City beat Manchester United in Sunday's derby thanks to an Erling Haaland goal, despite Phil Foden's red card after 23 minutes. Foden lashed out at Bruno Fernandes, who had kicked him, but United could not capitalise against ten men.

• Enzo Maresca said Fernandes should also have been sent off for kicking Foden.
• Maresca confirmed the fourth official told him Haaland's goal was onside.
• Maresca called the win fantastic for spirit and togetherness.

“The decision can be a red card for Foden, but in the same action, it can be a red card for Bruno because he also kicks Phil.”

— Enzo Maresca

City's resilience with ten men could prove a turning point in their season, while United face questions after failing to beat a depleted rival.
