Manchester United’s second goal demonstrated their fine decision-making.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson had the ball in his hands and Manchester City’s trap was set. If Henderson played it to anyone around the box, City’s players were ready to pounce and press.
No Premier League side have won possession in the final third more than Pep Guardiola’s men this season.
Recognising that danger, Henderson cut out City’s press entirely by throwing the ball over the top of it and into Luke Shaw’s path.
