Vincent Kompany's header in first-half stoppage time gave City the win that puts them top on goal difference, just three weeks after they trailed United by eight points.
City needed victory while Sir Alex Ferguson knew a draw would suit his purposes more than opposite number Roberto Mancini. (Manchester City manager)
And the United manager perhaps decided to err on the side of caution, with Wayne Rooney employed as a lone striker.
In a game of few chances, City were the more positive side and deserved the three points from what had been labelled the biggest game in the Premier League's 20-year history.
Man City derby win changes nothing - Roberto Mancini
Although Roberto Mancini says the victory over Manchester United takes his side top of the Premier League on goal difference "changes nothing" in the title race as their rivals have "two easy games" remaining.
We shall all see what will happen...
Watch out!!!
