It was one of the classic encounters between the two
Manchester goals. Bellamy’s goal made it 3-3 but Michael Owen’s goal six

It was thirteen years since City had beaten United, but Ole

A crowd of
75,322 watched the match at Old Trafford with the win going United’s way. It's hard to forget Rooney's acrobatic goal to win the match. City
was just fighting for the Champions League place at that time.
The largest attendance for a
Manchester derby was 78,000 on 20 September 1947, a time when both clubs were playing at Maine Road, as Old Trafford was being
repaired following damage sustained in the Second
World War
Manchester city unbeaten at home!! Manchester City Wins.
