United down City in derby

London: Strikers Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford delivered a devastating one-two punch just before half-time to carry Manchester United to a 2-0 victory over Manchester City in a derby held 5,000 miles from home on Thursday.

Lukaku struck first in the 37th minute with his second goal for his new club after moving to Old Trafford last week. The Belgian found the net with a sensational finish on the half-volley from a narrow angle.

Two minutes later, Rashford took Henrikh Mkhitaryan's pass all alone to the right of the City penalty area to ensure the red half of Manchester prevailed in the first derby played outside England.
