"Man Utd" manager Sir Alex Ferguson called the dramatic victory in the city derby against "Man City" "special." In extra time, Robin van Persie secured the win for the 'Red Devils' with a penalty kick, making it 3-2. It was the first home defeat for "Man City" after 37 consecutive unbeaten matches. "The match was very interesting, truly special," said Ferguson. "It says a lot about the league we are competing in - it is extremely good." The Scotsman praised his players: "I'm glad Wayne Rooney scored two goals. Knowing him, we can now expect a successful streak. Robin Van Persie also played amazingly and constantly put pressure on the opponents' defenders. "We would have been really disappointed if we didn't win, because we played very well. We defeated a team that hasn't lost at home for years and is competing for the top spot in the table. But there are still many matches left, and 'Man City' will be fresher, since they are no longer playing in Europe." "Man Utd," leading in the Premier League, increased the gap from defending champions "Man City" to six points.
