At the Etihad Stadium  

The Holders of the F.A Cup are out after first defeat at home in over a year.

Manchester United entered the 4th round of the F.A Cup after knocking out 10 Men, and holders, Manchester City . The holders started the game well but on 10 minutes, after all of city’s chances, you know what happened, Wayne Rooney scored the first goal of the game, from an Antino Valencia cross, with a great header past the 6ft 8inch goalkeeper who had no chance.

       Then just two minutes later it got difficult for City after their captain, Kompany, was sent off for serious foul play. After that everything began to go the way of Manchester United. After Kompany was sent off from the resulting free kick came the second goal. Nani fed in Evra, who gave it to Welbeck, who then scored with a great effort that again gave the keeper with no chance.

Then, when City fans thought could not get any worse, Kolorv was penalised for a tackle on Welbeck and Manchester United were awarded a penalty. Wayne Rooney, looking for his second goal of the game, stood up and his penalty was saved by the goalkeeper but Rooney headed in the rebound  and it was 0-3 to Manchester United at the break.

At the start of the second half again City started well but it was Utd who had the first chance but it was well gathered by the City Keeper , after that City began to look a bit like league leaders and then they would be rewarded because on the 47th minute Evra brought down Richards on the edge of the box and from the resulting free kick Kolorv scored and City had a lifeline. After that the return of Paul Scholes and a Big roar from the visiting Utd fans but it was his mistake which lead to City’s  2nd Goal Richards got away and crossed it for Aguro who’s first time shot was spilled by Lindigaard and Aguro scored got the rebound and it was a nervy last 25 minutes for the visitors Utd but they held on to be the first team to win at City for over a year.  Sir Alex said after the game “it was one of the best derby’s I have seen in a long time”. Roberto Mancini said, “the sending off was outrageous and it will be appealed.

FT REPORT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
