Dominant Performance Earns Champions First City Win

Own Goal and Silva Strike Prove Decisive

Manchester City produced a commanding display to secure their first Manchester Derby victory of the season, courtesy of an Eric Bailly own goal and a Bernardo Silva strike. The Citizens controlled the match from the outset, with Bailly's unfortunate deflection giving them the lead in the first half. Silva doubled the advantage after the break, sealing a comfortable win for Pep Guardiola's side.

The victory sees Manchester City move five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, while their bitter rivals Manchester United slump to eighth position. The result is a major blow to United's hopes of challenging for the title, while City will be buoyed by their impressive performance as they aim to retain their crown.
