'I have to keep my head up' - Ivory Coast's Bailly after Manchester Derby error

Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly has promised to keep his head up after scoring an own goal during the Manchester Derby, when Manchester United lost 2-0 to Manchester City on Saturday.

Bailly's attempt to make a clearance in the seventh minute saw the ball slide into his own net and that gave Manchester City an advantage early in the game.

In the process, the Ivorian became the first Manchester United player to score an own goal in the Manchester derby in the Premier League era.

The own goal, coupled with Bernardo Silva's strike just before half-time, meant Manchester United are now without a clean sheet in their last 14 home games in all competitions.
