Manchester City have taken another step towards the treble by beating Manchester United 2-1 in the FACupfinal. TheAthleticFC writers analyze the biggest moments from a dramatic Manchester derby.
Sure, City played out from the back successfully at times — as they do so well with the quality they have — but United should be credited with their bravery when out of possession.
Twenty-four years after English football’s historic first treble, Manchester City are two down, one to go. As neighbours United did it in 1999, City were languishing in the third tier, bordering on an afterthought to their local rivals, powerless to prevent them from achieving their greatest feat. What might frustrate Erik ten Hag is that, having already made the worst possible start, they then squandered their reprieve. United were solid, perhaps even the better side, between Bruno Fernandes’ equaliser from the penalty spot and half-time. The waves of sustained pressure that City overwhelm opponents with had not arrived. They never really did.
