Top 10 most iconic Manchester City games of the decade (2010-2019)

Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United (7 April, 2018)

Manchester City v Manchester United - Premier League

Following Sir Alex Ferguson's resignation from football management, Manchester City became the most dominant club in Manchester, with the Cityzens pushing the Red Devils to near mediocrity.

While Manchester United descended into chaos, their city rivals rose and consolidated their status as the top club in England, with the pinnacle coming in Pep Guardiola's second season at the club.

Over the 2017/2018 campaign, Manchester City established themselves as runaway leaders of the Premier League, with the question of how soon they would become champions rather than if they would win the title.

With their status as champions-elect guaranteed, the Cityzens hosted their city rivals on matchday 32 and had the chance to win the title if they picked up all three points.

This would have seen them break Manchester United's record for winning the title with six matches to spare and they seemed on curse to achieved this when Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan put them 2-0 up inside the first 30 minutes.

However, the thought of having their rivals celebrate a title win in the Manchester derby was seemingly too much for the United players to bear and they rallied in the second half, with Paul Pogba leading their fightback.

The Frenchman scored a brace in as many minutes, while Chris Smalling scored a 69th-minute winner and although City went ahead to win the title two weeks later, Manchester United's victory on the day denied fans of the club what would have been the perfect end to an extraordinary campaign.
