The results significantly impact the standings in Europe's top football leagues, with Manchester City moving level with Arsenal and Barcelona extending their winning streak to six matches.
Erling Haaland's hotly contested goal settled the 199th Manchester derby on Sunday (September 13, 2026). The Norwegian struck in the 60th minute at Old Trafford to seal a 1-0 win for 10-man Manchester City over fierce rival Manchester United in the Premier League.
