Bruno Fernandes' strike in the 78th minute of Manchester City's clash against Manchester United caused significant controversy with Marcus Rashford's role in the goal heavily questioned. Pep Guardiola's side complained to referee Martin Atkinson but the goal stood and Rashford then went on to score the winning goal, diverting home Alejandro Garnacho's cross.
City had dominated much of the second half with substitute Jack Grealish heading home a Kevin De Bruyne cross to put the visitors in front, but out of nowhere, United were level. A ball behind the City defence aimed for Rashford by Casemiro was instead swooped home by Fernandes, but Rashford, who was in a clear offside position appeared to shield the ball thus allowing his team-mate a free run at goal.
The win for United has major implications on the title race. For the team on the receiving end of the defeat it is a major blow, while for Arsenal it is a significant boost and the three points gained in the table for United has also pushed them into the title conversation.
