[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Manchester United continued their strength with Manchester City in recent years.
Manchester United won the match between Manchester City and Manchester Derby in the Premier League Round 27 of the 2020/21 season held at Etihad Stadium on the 8th (Korean time) 2-0.
At the start of the first half, Antony Marshall scored a penalty, Bruno Fernandes made it, and at the start of the second half, Luke Shaw’s advance followed by a streak of goals.
Man City ended the record of undefeated marches and 21 consecutive wins in 28 official matches at home, and it was even more regrettable that the opponent whose record was blocked was the local rival Manchester United.
United have been strong against Man City recently, especially in away games after coach Ole Gunnar Solskard took over.
Coach Solshard won three consecutive victories in his career in Manchester Derby, including the match that day. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Marshall scored a 2-1 victory in the league’s 16th round of the 2019/20 season, his first visit to Manchester City.
In the following match in the second leg of the 2020 League Cup quarterfinals, Nemanja Matic won 1-0 with the winning goal. Of course, Manchester United were defeated by Man City 1-3 at home in the first leg and were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
And on that day, Manchester United won the league against City, and Solskard became the third manager to win over 4 wins to Guardiola after Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho.
In addition, Solshar’s Manchester United continued their undefeated march in 22 away games. He recorded 14 wins and 8 draws in 22 games. Manchester United is an away strongman who has never lost on an away this season.
Manchester United surpassed Liverpool’s 21-game away undefeated march last season and tied with Arsenal’s 22-game away undefeated march in 2001/02. The current record for undefeated away games is Arsenal’s 27-game undefeated march in the 2003/04 season.
Manchester United’s ace Bruno Fernandes, who scored the first PK goal on the day, is in the center of undefeated away, scoring 14 goals and 7 assists during undefeated 22 games.
Manchester United have four away games left, so even if they win all four, they have to wait until the first away game of next season to beat Arsenal’s best record.
