Aguero wins it for City in Manchester derby
Print Edition
SERGIO Aguero gave Manchester City a 1-0 victory against Manchester United, which played with 10 men for more than 50 minutes yesterday.
Defender Chris Smalling was sent off seven minutes before halftime for two yellow cards and in the 63rd minute Aguero scored from a pass by Gael Clichy. City seemed at that stage to be well on top but United suddenly revived to push them all the way without being able to find an equalizing goal at the Etihad Stadium.
The win left the home side in third place with 20 points in the Premier League. United dropped to ninth place.
On Saturday, Eden Hazard converted a second-half penalty as Chelsea beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 to stay on top of the Premier League. Oscar put Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side ahead with a delicate finish across the goal, but Charlie Austin put QPR level with a clever back-heeled flick. Hazard was then fouled by Eduardo Vargas, and the Belgium international won the game from the penalty spot.
Southampton won 1-0 at Hull to remain in second place. Arsenal beat last-place Burnley 3-0 with two goals by Alexis Sanchez. Also, Everton drew 0-0 with Swansea, West Ham drew 2-2 at Stoke, and West Bromwich Albion won 1-0 at Leicester.
In Spain, Luis Suarez’s home debut with Barcelona was spoiled as Celta Vigo’s Joaquin Larrivey found the net for the visitors. It was Celta’s first away win against Barcelona since 1942, and it came against former coach Luis Enrique.
Real Madrid had no such troubles as Cristiano Ronaldo fired his side to the top of league by scoring in his 12 straight game for a 4-0 win at Granada.
In Germany, Arjen Robben’s late penalty gave Bayern Munich a hard-fought 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund to leave the visitors in the Bundesliga’s relegation zone. Robben converted from the spot in the 85th minute, completing Bayern’s comeback 13 minutes after Robert Lewandowski scored the equalizer against his former side.
