Aguero back to haunt United

Manchester United 1 Manchester City 2

The Argentinian forward came off the bench to race clear with 12 minutes to go to hand City three points that closes the gap at the summit of the Premier League to 12 points after Vincent Kompany’s unfortunate own goal had cancelled out James Milner’s opener.

The margin between the two sides may be too great with seven games to go, but City will enjoy this as United put in yet another drab display as their hangover from their controversial Champions League exit to Real Madrid continues.
