What were the highlights of the Manchester derby match?
Derby day done at Old Trafford. The fans continue to pour out of the stadium and we have been treated to quite a battle today between these two sides in Guardiola and Mourinho as well. But it's Guardiola's side who come out on top. They maintain their 100% record. Winners by two, goals to one. Not much to choose in terms of attempts. Six attempts though on target from City to United's three. The distance covered 120 to 111 and City enjoying 60% of the possession here to unite it 40%. For the two key men in the first half for City, this man Kevin De Bruyne who opened the scoring for Guardiola's side. And this man in for the suspended Aguero got the other goal, Ian Acho, De Bruyne alongside Geoff Rees.
Kelechi and Kevin, first of all, just how sweet a feeling is that to win four straight games and particularly to beat Manchester United today?
Yeah, it feels very good, obviously. Very hard game, very intensive. I think both teams showed their quality and what their skill set is, and especially the second half was more difficult than the first because they played very powerful, a lot of long balls, they are much stronger physically in the air. But I think we coped well and we just missed the third goal in the second half, but it was a fight until the end and we're very happy.
Kelechi, you said before the game you hoped to get the winner, it turned out you did score the winner, so what does it mean to you?
Yeah, it means the whole world to me, because it's a dream come true to play in the Manchester derby and to get a winning goal, so I'm happy, I'm very, very happy for my team, for everyone, they really worked hard to get the victory today, so I'm very happy for the fans as well that came to support us, so we're happy. it was kevin's shot that came off the post was it about being in the right place at the right time yeah of course being at the right place at the right time i i didn't anticipate the shot actually but i didn't thought he was going to hit the post and come back but i'm happy it came it came off me and i scored so i'm very happy you showed a good sense of geography there because be honest when you came out for the game you actually turned up the tunnel the wrong way didn't you you were heading for the car park yeah of course
but you certainly found your direction in terms of on the pitch. Kevin, how much did it change the rhythm of the goal when they scored?
Yeah, it changed a little bit because I think the first half we were excellent. And yeah, it's a little cut back for us because they score a goal and it's maybe a little mistake of us. But I think after the first 50 minutes in the second half, we came back stronger because we had to change a little bit to adapt to their style of play. And yeah, in the end, it's a hard fought game. I thought we could score. They had maybe a few chances. So fight until the end, but happy with the way we did it. It's very early in the season, but is this worth more than three points? For the fans, yes. For us, we have to maintain the same. It is only three points for us, but obviously it's much weirder for us now because we won the derby and the fans will celebrate probably tonight.
And for you, very quickly, Kelechi, you made the first goal, you scored the second. What was your day like?
How did Guardiola's tactics influence the game's outcome?
It will be a great day for me and for the team and for everyone, the fans as well. So we are very, very happy. I'm happy to get the assist and get the goal as well and get assist from him as well. So I'm happy, we're both happy.
You return the compliment. OK, one last shot for you. Can you hand over the Premier League man of the match, which Kevin has won?
Is it mine? No, you can take it. It's not me. Thank you. Thank you, guys.
Yeah, De Bruyne are absolutely brilliant, particularly in that first half. Graeme Sooners, Thierry Henry alongside me. Graeme, not always do these games live up to the hype, to the build-up. Did this one?
What role did Kevin De Bruyne play in Manchester City's victory?
Yeah, it was fabulous. First half very much belonged to City. We really should have put the game to bed in the first half.
