Buzzing. And that second half was nowhere near as one sided as Jenas was making out. City hardly had a sniff aside from their goal. Deserved win.

I thought we had shat ourselves in the first half of the second half after a really good first. But the last 20 minutes were superb. Well bloody done. feck off City

Absolutely amazing. Ten Hag has done nothing short of a miracle so far.

need Spurs to do Arsenal tomorrow and the season becomes super interesting!

I haven’t had such belief in this team since SAF

Big smile on Fergusons face warms my heart.

Could have been undeserved defeat. City scoring from basically their only decent opportunity and was Uniteds only bit of bad defending in the match (who left unmarked Grealish in the box)

All of that doesn't matter now though as its a Big 3 points in what was tactical masterclass, highlighting major improvement and turnaround from the October Derby.

No offside, no touch on the ball, no interference as Bruno didn’t even look at Rashford.
But goalkeeper could see both. Rashford even dummied a touch. I don't really get offside rule if that was legit.

I'd like to highlight and appreciate Wan-Bissaka. His ball carrying was the key in the first goal. Huge progress and well done.

Bruno's goal :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Rashford running along with the ball all the way until it got to him, 'not interfering with play' hahahahhaha.

I would be fuming if that was given against us. INJECT it in my veins.

Best I have seen us play for years.

Even when we were down, I thought we could win this game. Ten Hag has done a fantastic job.

At this point of Klopps charge, Liverpool were jumping in front of the supporters after drawing Norwich.

I’m on cloud 9 lads.

So many quality players. AWB is looking amazing. Fred did such a job for us.

Makes me laugh at all the mugs who were saying we needed to get rid of Fred and that we didn’t have a single RB worth playing.

Now we have two starting quality RBs both offering something a bit different. Our midfield is quality.

Weghorst must be thanking his lucky stars to come into this team at this time.

Probably my favourite game for quite some time. Especially knowing that we start the weekend with three points and can relax and see if our rivals drop points while we're climbing the table.

That was so satisfying. Would have been gutted not to get something from that game given our changes in the first half, but my god we got the run of the green. Can't wait for Pep's tears :devil:

So many good performances I'm stuck on picking my MOTM.

Fred was immense.
But the goals matter, between Rashy or Bruno for me.

More Rashford I'd say as he didn't let he's first halves missed chances get to him or the injury and put he's everything into it and then got the winner.

Look if we beat Arsenal next week we are, without a doubt, in a title race. Let that sink in

There's a real difference this time to beating them than previous occasions, feels like this is the start of something big, for this season, and in general.

Missed big parts of this, but listening to Eirik Bakke saying City dominated second half. What do the forum say?
