Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1
Manchester City capitalized on two defensive lapses by Romelu Lukaku to claim a record-setting 2-1 win over Manchester United and open up an 11-point lead over its fierce rival in the Premier League on Sunday Dec 10,2017
Both of Lukaku’s mistakes came in United’s penalty area while the forward was defending set pieces, with David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi taking advantage to score with close-range finishes in the 43rd and 54th minutes.
Marcus Rashford equalized for United between City’s goals, from another defensive mistake, in the meeting of the league’s top two teams at Old Trafford.
It was City’s 14th straight victory in the league, something that has never been achieved before in England’s top flight in a single season. Arsenal won 14 straight games in 2002, but across two seasons.
