As the sun broke through at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime, the rain got heavier for Manchester City.
A Jack Grealish goal looked to have clinched City's tenth win in their last 15 games at Old Trafford, only for a hugely controversial refereeing decision see the Blues collapse to defeat against a United side that offered little until they went behind. A game that looked to be restoring City's brittle confidence instead saw them fold like a house of cards to make their task of defending their Premier League crown even tougher.
Action was required after the misery of the Southampton defeat, and while it came it was not enough to prevent a second successive loss.
