The in-form striker, Sergio Aguero doubled the Cityzen's advantage by scoring his eighth goal of the season just three minutes after the halftime.
Anthony Martial brought the Red Devils back into the game by converting a penalty kick in the 58th minute of the match, however, Manchester City's defence stood firm after conceding a goal and they didn't let their city rivals grab the equalizing goal. İlkay Gündoğan put the game into the bed by scoring City's third goal of the match during the 86th minute of the match.
The Cityzens enjoyed 65% possession during the match and had 17 shots on goal as compared to Manchester United's six.
