Manchester United prevented Manchester City from being Champions this weekend as they came from two goals down to beat City 3-2 in the Manchester derby.

The game played at the Etihad saw Manchester City go two goals up in the first half.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany opened the scoring for the Citizens with a powerful header in the 25th minute.

City doubled the lead in the 30th minute with some fine football being finished off by Gundogan to make it 2-0.

United did not register a single shot on target in the first half.

City then started the second half in similar fashion as Gundogan clipped the post with a curling effort but Pogba's quick double interrupted their rhythm and reversed the momentum.

Smalling, who had been at fault for both goals in the first half, then directed his header past Ederson to round off a tremendous comeback in the 69th minute.
