EPL: Man Utd stun Man City to end winning run

Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw saw City lose their first game since November 21 as United close the gap on their rivals to 11 points

Manchester City’s 21-game winning run was ended by their bitter rivals as Manchester United secured a deserved 2-0 victory at the Etihad.

The match got off to a lightning start as United were awarded a penalty after just 34 seconds when Gabriel Jesus clumsily tripped Anthony Martial in the box.

And Bruno Fernandes stuck away the resulting spot-kick to give his side the perfect start.

Luke Shaw was the unlikely hero as he doubled the lead shortly after half-time with a low left-footed finish to stun City.

Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling missed big chances to reply for the hosts, and United held on to move 11 points behind the Premier League leaders.
