Rio Ferdinand has admitted he will not "get carried away" regarding Manchester United's Premier League title chances after their victory against Manchester City. The title battle appeared to be a straight shoot out between City and Arsenal, but United's recent string of results has thrust them into the picture.
A weekend of major derbies kicked off with City travelling to Old Trafford where a win would close the gap to just two points before the Gunners take on Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby. However, late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford condemned Pep Guardiola's men to their second defeat of the week after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton in midweek.
Jack Grealish had put City in front after a dominating start to the second half from the visitors, but Fernandes stroked home an equaliser marred in controversy after Rashford was deemed by VAR not to be interfering with play, despite racing towards the ball from an offside position. The England international then slid home the winner after a great ball in from Alejandro Garnacho.
