Leroy Sane, Manchester City Beat Manchester United in EPL Derby Match

Manchester City moved one step closer to repeating as Premier League champions on Wednesday, beating rivals Manchester United 2-0 in the local derby. Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane scored the goals in the second half.

United started well but quickly lost ground in the possession battle to their rivals, though they did at least manage to keep a clean sheet until half-time. But Silva beat David De Gea at his near post after 54 minutes, and Sane blasted a shot past the Spaniard 12 minutes later. The former Atletico Madrid keeper could have done more to save both efforts.
