Bruno Fernandes explains 'offside' Man Utd goal as Man City fume at derby decision

Bruno Fernandes has explained his controversial equaliser which sparked Manchester United 's comeback against bitter rivals Manchester City.

The Red Devils pulled off a 2-1 comeback win on derby day, courtesy of Marcus Rashford 's late winner which came only four minutes after Fernandes drew United level. The Portuguese midfielder struck in the 78th minute, but City were furious with the decision for the goal to stand after Jack Grealish had put them ahead on the hour mark.

As Casemiro swept a ball through to an offside Rashford, the England forward wisely left the ball for Fernandes to run onto, all while distracting the Citizens' dumbfounded defence. However, the law saw no problem with the goal, as Fernandes explained he and his teammates' quick thinking post-match.
