Goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane saw Manchester City beat rivals Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford to boost their title hopes.
City's victory sees them go one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with three games remaining.
Here, Sportsmail's CHRIS WHEELER runs the rule over the performances of both sets of players.
Manchester United (5-3-2)
David de Gea - 5
Beaten at his near post for the first goal and Sane’s second went straight through him.
Goalkeeper David de Gea made two high-profile errors as United were beaten 2-0 by City
Ashley Young - 6
Dealt well with Sterling’s threat for half an hour but struggled as City upped their game.
Matteo Darmian - 6
Faded on his first league start in four months. Turned his back on Sane for the second goal.
Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian struggled in his first Premier League start in over four months
Chris Smalling - 5.5
Lucky that De Gea got across to prevent an own-goal, and a little reckless at times.
Victor Lindelof - 6.5
So much happier in the middle of defence. Cleared the danger on numerous occasions.
Victor Lindelof looked much more settled at the heart of the United defence and made some important clearances
Luke Shaw - 6
Did good job on Bernardo in the first half but wasn’t quick enough to close him down for the goal.
Andreas Pereira - 5
One of five changes from weekend. Game passed him by and was booked for fouling Zinchenko.
Andreas Pereira was brought into the side but struggled to make an impact and the game passed him by
Fred - 5
Gave the ball away for second goal. Worked hard but still seems odd City wanted to sign him.
Paul Pogba - 6
Another one of those frustrating nights. Some nice passes but gave away possession far too easily.
Jesse Lingard - 6
Fluffed a glaring chance to equalise after going close with a difficult volley in the first half.
Marcus Rashford - 7
Back on his game again. United’s biggest threat and his pace caused City problems.
Substitutes: Lukaku (Pereira, 72min) 6, Martial (Lingard, 83min), Sanchez (Darmian, 83min)
Not used: Mata, Dalot, Romero, Matic
Manager:
Ole Gunnar Solskajer - 5
He made some bold changes to shake things up, but couldn’t alter the result. Seven defeats from nine games tells its own story.
