Haaland strike gives Man City 1-0 win over Man United after Foden sent off
On Sunday, September 13, 2026, Erling Haaland scored in the 60th minute to secure Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with the visitors playing ten men for most of the match.
Phil Foden was shown a straight red card in the 23rd minute for violent conduct after kicking Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, leaving City down to ten men early in the contest.
A lengthy VAR review overturned an initial offside flag on Haaland's 60th-minute goal; pundits including Gary Neville questioned the decision while also debating why Fernandes escaped discipline for his role in the confrontation.
Despite their numerical advantage, United failed to capitalize on chances; City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a crucial stoppage-time save from Bryan Mbeumo to preserve the narrow victory.
The result keeps City level with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, while Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces mounting pressure following a difficult start to his first full season in charge.
The Premier League match between Manchester United and Manchester City ended in a positive outcome for the visitors, with Haaland's goal proving the difference.
