Manchester United Hold Manchester City in Premier League Derby Stalemate

Manchester United held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday to keep their chances of a Premier League top-four finish alive.

Sergio Aguero was the width of a post away from giving City an early lead, as he turned Kevin De Bruyne's early cross on to the woodwork. The second period yielded few chances and was only livened up late on when Marouane Fellaini was sent off for what appeared to be a headbutt on Aguero.

The result means City stay in fourth spot, a point behind Liverpool, while United are a further point back in fifth; they each have a game in hand on the Merseyside club.
