There was a flurry of goals in the last ten minutes, the most important one being Owen’s debut goal for Manchester United. Darren Fletcher and Craig Bellamy scored two goals each for Man U and Manchester City, respectively.

It was a highly anticipated Manchester derby with both sides showing good form in the league. Although City must have surely felt Adebayor’s loss, who had to miss this game due a three match suspension.

A silly mistake by keeper Foster saw Tevez pass the ball into Gareth Barry’s path who negated Man U’s lead given to them by Rooney’s goal. Tevez almost scored one for himself only to be denied by the post. Bellamy struck back with an almost impossible goal in the 90 minute, after an error from Rio Ferdinand.

Fletcher had a good game for Manchester United heading in two goals. Ryan Giggs was at his usual best during the game. Keeper Shay Given tried his best to keep City in the match and made a stunning save of Dimitar Berbatov’s header, from a Giggs corner. However, Given couldn’t stop Owen from winning the match for United.
