Manchester City's dominance over Manchester United was on full display at Old Trafford on November 6, 2021, as the Premier League champions cruised to a 2-0 win in their derby.
The match got off to an ideal start for City, with Eric Bailly scoring an own goal in the seventh minute after stretching out a leg to turn a low Joao Cancelo cross into his own net.
Despite playing with a three-man central defense, Manchester United's shaky backline relied heavily on goalkeeper David De Gea to keep them in the game, with the Spaniard making several crucial saves.
However, just before the break, City profited from more woeful United defending, with Luke Shaw inexplicably leaving a Cancelo cross deep to the back post, allowing Bernardo Silva to sneak in and poke a shot goalward that crept past De Gea.
The win marked Manchester City's second place in the Premier League table, two points behind leaders Chelsea, who hosted Burnley later that day.
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United are now winless in their last four home league games, losing three of them.
