Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho became the youngest footballer in Premier League history to notch an assist in the Manchester derby.
According to OptaJoe, at 18 years and 197 days old, Garnacho is now the proud holder of the record. If the Argentine could have picked the goal to provide the assist for, he would have chosen the winner in front of the Stretford End.
His pass across the face of goal was turned home by Marcus Rashford to complete a stunning turn around at Old Trafford. United had the better of the first 45 but failed to test Ederson enough.

City came out for the second half with their tails up and were ahead on the hour mark when Jack Grealish nodded home from close range past David de Gea. The Reds rallied and were level 18 minutes later.
A through ball looking for Rashford was left by the forward allowing captain Bruno Fernandes to finish calmly. Initially the flag went up but, following a VAR review, the strike was allowed to stand.
Still reeling from the decision that had put the game back in the balance, Pep Guardiola's side found themselves behind when Garnacho and Rashford linked up. The victory sees United move a point behind City and up to third in the Premier League table ahead of Newcastle vs Fulham on Sunday.
As for Garnacho, this assist is his latest achievement in what has been a breakout season so far for the teenager. The 18-year-old has scored two goals and grabbed two assists in 11 senior appearances for Erik ten Hag's team this campaign.
