The 182nd Manchester derby ended with a red painting of the city of Manchester as United demolished their noisy neighbours 2-0.
Here are five things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt for the sweet derby victory:
1. PEP IN THE POCKET
It is official!!! Olè 'Ugonna' Solskjaer has put Pep Guardiola in his pocket. Olè has now beaten him three times in four games this season.

To add 'maggi' to the matter, this is the first time in 10 years that United have beaten City home and away in the Premier league.
3. WHAT A GOLDEN JUBILEE
Today was Olè's 50th EPL game in charge of Manchester United as manager. Indeed, there was no better way of celebrating it than claiming a derby victory spiced with a clean sheet!!

To add 'tatasè to the stew', this was United's 10th game unbeaten with 24 goals scored between.
3. ANTHONY 'IKECHUKWU' MARTIAL.
The French 'embarraser-in-chief' of right backs has been in fine form for United. His goal today was similar to the one scored in the away game where he beat Ederson with a similar near post shot.

With his superb volley today, he became the first the player since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2006/2007 to score against Manchester city both home and away in a single season!!
4. 'KPEKERE' ASSIST.
Bruno 'Oliseh' Fernandes was at it again. The Portuguese has truly become a famous magician at Old Trafford with 3 goals and 3 assists in six games.

Today, he assisted Martial with the first goal of the game with a beautiful chip('kpekere') free-kick. Kudos!!
5. DANIEL 'OSONDU' JAMES.
Despite his brilliant start to life at Manchester, the electric paced('Osondu') forward has been on the low in recent games.

He blew away two beautiful chances United had today with poor decisions in the box. Bruno could have scored at least one goal today if he had taken the right decision to pick him out with a square pass, rather than shoot from a tight angle. He needs to improve.
IN THE END, all we can say is kudos to the entire team. Special 'gboza' to Luke 'Ajebota' Shaw and Wan-Bisaka for the lockdown of Sterling and Mahrez.
We also send special thanks to Ederson for the gift of of the final goal.
May the "ministry continue moving to the permanent site".
