This hard-fought triumph not only maintains City&#8217;s pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool but also underscores their dominance in local clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite United&#8217;s recent struggles at the Etihad, the match promised an intense battle from the outset, with City asserting early pressure in search of an early breakthrough. Kevin De Bruyne&#8217;s creativity nearly unlocked United&#8217;s defense as he orchestrated a chance for John Stones, only for Casemiro&#8217;s intervention to thwart the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it was United who struck first, capitalizing on a precise long ball from Andre Onana, with Bruno Fernandes showcasing his playmaking prowess to set up Marcus Rashford for a clinical finish, silencing his recent critics with a sublime strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real-time <a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.org\/football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Football scores<\/a> and highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mark Flekken, pinpoint delivery? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M7KzfTX2BI\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/M7KzfTX2BI<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentfordFC\/status\/1763251668307570748?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 29, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undeterred by the setback, City continued to dominate proceedings, with Onana proving instrumental in denying <a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.org\/football\/player\/p-foden\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phil Foden<\/a> and Rodri from finding the net in the first half. Despite their persistence, City&#8217;s frustrations mounted as Erling Haaland squandered a golden opportunity to equalize before halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, City&#8217;s persistence paid off early in the second half, as Foden&#8217;s thunderous strike restored parity after Rashford&#8217;s contentious fall led to a swift counterattack. The equalizer injected renewed energy into City&#8217;s play, with Foden&#8217;s clinical finish off a slick combination with Julian Alvarez propelling them into the lead with just 10 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New training images! ?<\/p>&mdash; Everton (@Everton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Everton\/status\/1763247770562170942?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 29, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With victory within reach, City continued to assert their dominance, leaving United chasing shadows as Haaland sealed the win with a decisive third goal in stoppage time, sealing City&#8217;s unbeaten home record since November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This crucial victory not only narrows the gap between City and league leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.org\/football\/club\/liverpool\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> to just one point but also extends their remarkable run of dominance in Manchester derbies.
