Manchester United 0 Manchester City 3. A goal from Edin Dzeko after 45 seconds sent Manchester City on their way to an embarrassingly easy win over their hosts, and at the end of the match, as United fans vented their fury, the only wonder was that the visitors hadn't helped themselves to more than three goals.

As it was, second-half strikes from Dzeko and Yaya Toure were damning confirmation for United fans how far their side has fallen in the space of nine months. Last season's champions are now in serious danger of missing out altogether on European football next season after their sixth home league defeat under David Moyes. Lying in seventh place, 18 points adrift of Chelsea, United are six points shy of fifth-place Everton (who enjoyed a 3-0 win away at Newcastle last night) and on course for their worst finish in the 22-year history of the Premier League.
