Manchester Citywith the world champion striker Julian Alvarezbeat this Sunday Manchester Unitedwith Alejandro Garnacho, and won the city classic by 3 to 1 to remain within striking distance of the top of the Premier League defended by Liverpool.
The Englishman Marcus Rashford (PT 8m) put United ahead and City reversed it through the Englishman Phil Foden (ST 11 and 35m) and the Norwegian Erling Haaland (ST 45+1m), who is first in the scoring table with 18 conquests.
Álvarez, summoned by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina’s friendlies against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States on March 22 and 26, made his entrance 13 minutes into the second half and was key to the victory of the “Ciudadanos.”
The former River provided the assist for Foden’s second goal and stood out for the imbalance in attack. For his part, Garnacho, also called up by Scaloni, played as a starter for Manchester United, but could not gravitate.
With this victory, Josep Guardiola’s City reached 62 points and remained one behind the leader Liverpool (63).
The rest of the date
The day began with Bournemouth’s victory against Burnley, 2-0, through goals from the Dutch Justin Kluivert (PT 13m) and the English Antoine Semenyo (ST 43m).
The Argentine defender was injured in Bournemouth Marcos Senesi, another of the footballers summoned by Scaloni for the upcoming friendlies in March.
The former San Lorenzo footballer left his place on the field to the Welshman Chris Mepham after just ten minutes of play, after suffering discomfort in his left leg. Senesi will wait for the diagnosis to find out if he will be part of the matches with Argentina against El Salvador and Costa Rica, with a view to the Copa América in the middle of the year.
Date 27 will end on Monday with the match between Sheffield United and Arsenal (5:00 p.m.).
