Manchester United vs Man City player ratings: David Silva and Bernardo star as David de Gea fluffs his lines

Manchester City took a major step towards the title race with a victory at Old Trafford.

Manchester United improved after their terrible defeat at Everton, but were still a long way short of City's level.

A tight and tense ended first half ended goalless, but that all changed in the second period.

Bernardo Silva fired in the opener and Leroy Sane added a second to seal all three points.

The result means Manchester City return to the top of the Premier League and the title race is in their hands. 

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery for our player ratings.
