***MATCH REPORT***

Both teams were tentative to start with City the stronger team as the half wore on.  De Gea produced two stunning saves to deny Navas and Aguero.  

The game changed after Smalling was sent off for a second yellow in the 38th minute.  City started the second half all guns blazing and eventually the inevitable goal came in the 63rd minute, scored by Aguero.

All credit to Man United as they never gave up and gave City some scares in last twenty minutes, notably when Hart saved brilliantly from a Di Maria shot.  Fellaini also had two great headed chances which he could not direct on target.

Man of the Match - Yaya Toure
