3 things Manchester United did right against Manchester City

#1 Pogba and Sanchez joining hands to drive United through

Pogba scored two goals while Sanchez provided as many assists

Pogba was anonymous in the first half and was being run-over by the City midfield. United's latest singing and one who chose them over City, Sanchez, wasn't impressive either. However, in the second half of the match, two of United's most crucial players came into their own and took it upon themselves to take the team through.

After Pogba was allowed to drive forward in the second half, two of his late runs resulted in a goal each while Sanchez had a role to play in all three of United goals.

The Chilean's cross was shouldered down by Ander Herrera in Pogba's path, who calmly clipped the ball over Ederson for the visitors' first goal. 97 second later, the winger found the French midfield general with a searching pass over the defence who headed the ball past the City goalkeeper to equalise.

Sanchez, on the other hand, wasn't done yet and a free-kick from him fell perfectly on Smalling's boots who blasted it past Ederson and into the net. Both these players will take a lot of confidence from their second-half performance.
