Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points 

#1 Will-be champions, would-be legends?

Down but certainly not out

Some of the gloss may have come off City's achievements - both under the belt and the big one to arrive, quite stellar ones may we add, this season. This ought to not discourage the ones in charge because it appears that their rather exuberant "project" is on-track.

All the signs are positive, maybe not on the night as Jose came up trumps once again, for the blue half of Manchester. One of the best managers in Europe with an exciting young squad to play around with and of course - oil money.

This City side will be back, decidedly stronger after tonight's humbling on their home-turf, but the day and the night, and a couple more nights after that we presume, belong to their bitter bitter rivals.
