There have not been many teams who have made a comeback after being 2-0 down at halftime against City.

The last team to achieve this feat was Liverpool 10 years ago. And now, it is United. Football is a game of 2 halves they say, rightly said. If you watched the derby, you would know what this means. And for those who didn't, what were you doing?

In the 1st half, City were running rampant and could have also been 3-0 or even 4-0 up. Come 2nd half, the Reds came all out and made one of the best comebacks.

From being outclassed by Pep in the beginning, to outclassing him in the final 45 minutes, Jose truely showed that football is a game of 2 halves.

#3 Pogba and Smalling never lose when they score

9 - Both Chris Smalling and Paul Pogba have won all nine Premier League games in which they've scored; only Ryan Babel has a better 100% record in the competition (11/11). Saviours. pic.twitter.com/xDtTZACjKK

Pogba last scored a league goal back against Newcastle in November and then he scored twice in a space of 91 seconds. Smalling's last goal was just a month ago against Crystal Palace, where United once again made a comeback after being 2-0 down.

Just 3 more games to score and they will set a new record.

It is interesting to note that ever since joining City, Jesus had never lost a league game in which he played until today.
