It only happens once in a blue moon

It had been billed as the biggest Manchester derby in decades, but it turned out to be a derby day to forget for United as City celebrated a historic 6-1 victory yesterday morning (NZ time) at Old Trafford. Man U's goal was scored by Darren Fletcher, and Man City's goals were apportioned as follows: two by Mario Balotelli, one by Sergio Aguero, two by Edin Dzeko, and one by David Silva. As if things couldn't get any worse for the Reds; in addition to two players from each team receiving yellow cards, Man U had to play most of the second half with ten men after Jonny Evans was at the centre of the game’s big moment two minutes after the restart when he got red-carded for pulling Balotelli back as the Italian striker bore down on goal.
