Sergio Aguero, Ashley Young Traded Early Goals in the Manchester Derby
By Mike Cardillo
The Manchester Derby is taking place Sunday at Old Trafford in England. It only took about eight minutes to throw away the pregame narratives about Manchester City’s struggles and Manchester United’s rise to form. James Milner (!) threaded in a pass to David Silva, who then found Sergio Agüero in front of goal in an on-side position to put City ahead 1-0.
The lead lasted barely five minutes when Ashley Young (!) tied it at 1-1 from a sheer angle.
If there’s a common denominator in both goals, it’s that they both made NBCSN commentator Arlo White very excited.
Naturally by the time this post went live, Marouane Fellaini scored on a header set up by Young to put the Red Devils up 2-1, so … the initial narrative is back within half an hour. The Premier League, ladies and gentleman!
