Man City Beats Man United 1-0 to Top EPL

Vincent Kompany’s header gave Manchester City a 1-0 win against Manchester United on Monday to overtake its rival on top of the Premier League with two games remaining.

Kompany drilled David Silva’s corner kick past the keeper with his head for the only goal in the first-half of stoppage time at Etihad Stadium. City was able to hold on for the potentially title-deciding win as it now leads United on goal difference.

City now holds its fate in its own hands having overcome an eight-point deficit in three weeks.

After leading the Premier League for most of the season, City trailed United by eight points on April 8. But two more wins should be enough to claim a first league title since 1968.

City visits Newcastle United and hosts Queens Park Rangers in the remaining games, while United finishes against Swansea at home and Sunderland away.
