Maresca Praises City After Dramatic Win Over United
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca commended his players for their resilience following a dramatic 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. City faced a challenging situation after Phil Foden received a straight red card in the 23rd minute for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, leaving them with 10 men for over an hour.
Despite this disadvantage, Maresca's team maintained discipline and secured the win with a goal from Erling Haaland in the 60th minute. The goal was initially disallowed for offside, but VAR intervened to overturn the decision, allowing Haaland to keep the goal, although the refereeing body later admitted an error in the ruling.
Maresca expressed satisfaction with his team's mentality and defended the goal's award while questioning the incident involving Fernandes. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a crucial late save to prevent United from equalizing.
This victory keeps Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, with Maresca winning all four league matches since taking charge.
