MANCHESTER, England -- In this wildest of Premier League seasons, another unexpected twist. Manchester United's 2-0 derby win extended their record unbeaten away in the Premier League ended Manchester City's winning streak, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players will rue the 11-point gap that remains between themselves and Pep Guardiola's league leaders.
A second-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty, followed by Luke Shaw's goal five minutes into the second half, gave United victory in the 185th meeting between the two sides and no success in this fixture can be dismissed as insignificant. Indeed, snapping City's run of wins in all competitions at 21, as well as making it 22 in the league without defeat away from Old Trafford, adds more merit to United's display.
