No goals, no glory

It was intense, physical, and highly competitive, but in the end, the 170th Manchester derby finished in stalemate as United and City frustrated each other at Old Trafford, where substitute Jesse Lingard almost stole the show when he hit the bar late on. This fixture has provided fans with goals galore in recent history, as well as the odd moment of greatness, but the latest meeting could not live up to form. The result leaves City top of the Barclays Premier League on goal difference ahead of Arsenal, with United placed fourth behind West Ham. A scoreless draw is better than a loss but it's not good enough if you want the silverware at the end of the season.
