"Michael Carrick's Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-0 on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), dealing a huge blow to their neighbours' Premier League title hopes, as sorry Tottenham slipped to defeat against relegation-threatened West Ham. Arsenal failed to capitalise on Man City's loss, being held to a scoreless draw at Nottingham Forest. Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by lowly Burnley while Liam Rosenior celebrated his first league win in charge of Chelsea."
""Great start. No getting away from that," said Carrick. "The boys were fantastic." "Consistency is the key to any success," he added. "If you could find that, then you're onto a winner. That's our challenge - we've got to find a way to do that. Big one next week obviously (against Arsenal), another tough one, but on the back of today, we've got a good foundation.""
Manchester United recorded a 2-0 victory over Manchester City at Old Trafford in Michael Carrick's first game at the start of his second spell in temporary charge. Carrick was appointed head coach until the end of the campaign following the sacking of Ruben Amorim. Second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu capped a dominant display by United, who also had three goals ruled out for offside while Gianluigi Donnarumma was inspired in City's goal. Pep Guardiola's City sit six points behind Arsenal, while Arsenal were held to a scoreless draw at Nottingham Forest. Tottenham lost to West Ham, Liverpool drew 1-1 with Burnley, and Liam Rosenior earned his first league win in charge of Chelsea.
