    Bayo: Wow. Pogba! He’s been absolute rubbish today. And look at him. Scoring 2 in 2 minutes.

    Nii: Pogba. They say form is temporarily but your class is permanent. What a turnaround.

    Man City 2-2 Man Utd

    Well, it was dull to begin with, not anymore.

    City have to score again to start the party music once more.

    David Silva is found in behind, but his pullback is collected by David de Gea.

    Paul Pogba wasn't at the races in the first half.! Don't you just love football? It's so silly.

    City need to wake up! If you were among the handful of United fans who left at half-time, embarrassed by that display, you are not hearing things. It is 2-2.

    Pogba takes a chance, moves into a central position and it is a great run.

    The ball is slightly behind him, he twists those neck muscles to get his head on it.

    Big players step up to the mark. Would love to know what Mourinho said at half time.

    GOAL - Man City 2-2 Man Utdpublished at 55 mins

    Paul Pogba

    Man Utd

    Unbelievable.

    "Hello, you are through to Miles Platting champagne shop, how may I help you?"

    "Hi my name is Mr Guardiola, I would like to return 20 cases of Moet I bought this week, I still have the receipt."

    United are back in the game and level through Paul Pogba, who has a free header from inside the box, meeting it to nod home from Alexis Sanchez's pin-point cross.

    Who saw this coming at half-time? The City fans didn't, they have been silenced.

    Paul Pogba

    Man Utd

    HELLO!

    United have started the second half brightly and pull a deserved goal back. If City's second was tasty, this was absolutely delicious.

    Two much-maligned United players are involved as Alexis Sanchez clips the ball for Ander Herrera, who chests the ball down into the path of Paul Pogba.

    The Frenchman takes a touch and strokes a cool finish past Ederson.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 51 mins

    Man City 2-0 Man Utd

    Another slick City move and nearly the third.

    Raheem Sterling, who has played superbly barring his finish, sets up Ilkay Gundogan, who has time to pick his spot from eight yards out, but the shot hits the angle of post and crossbar.

    David de Gea stood and watched it sail past him.

    PJ: We need to get an early goal otherwise this game is over!

    MakSteel: Just bring on Martial and Rashford for Sanchez and Lingard, what's the worst that could happen?

  10. CLOSE!published at 49 mins

    Man City 2-0 Man Utd

    Better from United, forcing City goalkeeper Ederson into his first save.

    Paul Pogba collects the ball and rockets a low strike from from 25 yards out which the Brazilian collects low to his right.

    It was comfortable in the end.

    Sean: Shouldn’t £89m players be dictating the pace of a game? I’m not seeing Paul Pogba doing this anytime soon.

    Mark: Half a game gone, Pogba's name not mentioned once in the BBC commentary. I might as well be playing.

      Jesse Lingard's corner is whipped in well towards the six yard but no Manchester United player is attacking the ball and City skipper Vincent Kompany flicks the ball to safety.

      A good start from United at the start of the second half as Romelu Lukaku trundles forward down the right and earns a corner.

      Romelu Lukaku has not been helped by United's approach but this is his touchmap in the first half. Someone remind him where the goal is...

      The scoreline means a 19 point gap between the two sides.

      On the evidence of this game, that seems spot on.

      This is going to be a title procession for City and a long, longggg 45 minutes for United to endure.

      David: City should be out of sight by now. They're in absolute cruise control at the moment.

      Sho: This is without De Bruyne, Jesus and Aguero. And City are toying with us.

      Jose Mourinho has a decision to make at half time. He could take every one of these United players off, with the exception of David de Gea and Romelu Lukaku, as he has had nothing to work with.

      They have been so poor, two centre halves have been absolutely shocking.

      Robin: Mourinho still hasn’t learnt. There’s no marking and nobody is pressing any City players. Why park the bus when you’re 2 goals down?! Wrong tactics.

      Paul: Mourinho has parked the bus. Unfortunately it appears to be the open top bus for City's champions parade.
