Robin van Persie scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester United clinched a dramatic 3-2 away victory over Manchester City to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points on Sunday.
United looked to have squandered a chance to claim the Manchester derby bragging rights when Pablo Zabaleta’s equaliser with four minutes remaining completed a brave comeback from City, who had been given a lifeline by Yaya Toure’s second half goal after trailing to a first half brace from Wayne Rooney.
But Sir Alex Ferguson’s side underlined their determination to wrestle the title back from City with a sensational response though van Persie, whose deflected free-kick handed the champions their first Premier League defeat of the season.
