Final: Manchester United 1 - Manchester City 0

MANCHESTER CITY 0
MANCHESTER UNITED 1
(Rooney 42)
Oh, what a game.
Rooney scores his 100th goal in a game which United clearly dominated. Ronaldo, Berbatov and Evra all came breathlessly close to goals before Rooney slotted in the Micheal Carrick rebound just before the half. The second half was more mundane than the first with City coming close with only few minutes remaining, but Patrice Evra cleared the ball off the line, securing United's three points.
On a sour note, Ronaldo was sent off after two yellow cards. The first given, in my opinion ( and clearly in Ronaldo's too) undeservedly after a very weak tackle on Shaun Wright-Phillips, and the second for a confusing deliberate handball in the box off a Rooney corner. Ronaldo claimed the whistle blew before he touched the ball, but after mocking referee Howard Webb when given the first yellow, there was no doubt he would receive the second yellow.
More great news for United fans, Arsenal and Van Persie defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, 2-1! Where does that leave United?
United have 28 points, with Chelsea and Liverpool tied at 33.
Both United and Liverpool having played 14, with Chelsea and Arsenal having completed 15.
Arsenal moves to 26 points.
I'll add some more later.

Preview: Manchester United vs. Manchester CIty
Sunday, 30 November 08, 10:50 PM
The Derby is here!
This Sunday, Manchester United will take on Manchester City at the Eastlands. With a rich history between the two teams and the steadily improving form of City, it's guaranteed to be a show!
"There might be a different focus on the derby this time considering all the prospects and money available to Mark Hughes. But that doesn’t change our side of it or how we approach the match." - Sir Alex
Notables:
- C. Ronaldo played against Villareal and should be able to play in this match.
- Berbatov, out with a hamstring injury, has started training and Fergie will most likely make the call on game day.
- Scholes and Neville both out with injuries, will most likely not play.
