Haaland strike gives Man City 1-0 win over Man United after Foden sent off
- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, 10-man Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive goal in the 60th minute to extend Enzo Maresca's perfect start as manager.
- City played most of the match with ten men after midfielder Phil Foden received a straight red card in the 23rd minute for violent conduct following a clash with United captain Bruno Fernandes.
- Officials awarded Haaland's strike after a lengthy VAR review overturned the initial offside flag. The Premier League Match Centre ruled that Enzo Fernandez, despite being in an offside position, did not interfere with play.
- Defender Lisandro Martinez branded the ruling an "injustice," while United manager Michael Carrick labelled the decision "staggering" and "worrying." The hosts hit the woodwork twice but failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage.
- City remain level with Arsenal at the top of the table with four wins from four matches. United's underwhelming start leaves them with four points from four matches, trailing in the title race.
