Manchester City edged Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in a dramatic 199th Manchester derby, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive goal after City had been reduced to 10 men. Phil Foden was sent off in the 23rd minute for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, leaving City to defend with a numerical disadvantage for more than an hour. United twice came close through Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, with both efforts striking the post. City eventually broke the deadlock in the 60th minute when Haaland finished Joško Gvardiol’s deflected cross at the far post. The goal was initially ruled out for offside but overturned after a lengthy VAR review, which determined that Enzo Fernández, despite being in an offside position, had not played the ball. United pushed for an equaliser but Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves to preserve City’s win.

Abhishek Sharma produced a breathtaking 82 off just 32 balls as India stormed to a seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I in Delhi.

The left-hander smashed seven sixes and seven fours, taking on both Afghanistan’s pace and spin attack with remarkable confidence. His 121-run partnership with Ishan Kishan, who made 42, effectively ended the contest before the halfway mark.
