This is a huge three points for Manchester City in the early Premier League title chase, keeping them in the hunt alongside Arsenal after the Gunners’ win over Sunderland. But this wasn’t just any three points. It’s the Manchester Derby, and City leave Old Trafford with the bragging rights after a game decided by a bizarre and confusing offside decision. The Who2Win world wanted United. The scoreboard says City. For now, Manchester is blue.
