Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City: Late, great Aguero strike settles cagey derby
Manchester City ensured rival Manchester United would have to wait a little longer to claim the Premier League title as the visitors claimed a hard-fought 2-1 win at Old Trafford, though remain 12 points behind Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
City took the lead through James Milner, whose powerful shot wormed its way past David De Gea, before a Vincent Kompany own goal restored the equilibrium just minutes later.
But it was the away side which struck the decisive, final blow through substitute Sergio Aguero, whose viscous near-post shot rocketed into the top corner to guarantee victory for Roberto Mancini’s team.
Wayne Rooney returned in attack for the Red Devils, partnering Robin van Persie up front, while Jones was picked in defense. Veteran Ryan Giggs was selected to appear in his 37th Manchester derby.
Ex-red Carlos Tevez spearheaded City’s attack with Sergio Aguero only fit enough for a place on the bench, while captain Kompany lined up in the center of defense.
The game started at a frenetic pace, with both sides hurtling forwards and City especially eager to reclaim local pride and spoil the Old Trafford party. The away side’s right flank was particularly dangerous, with Milner fizzing crosses into the box.
But after the frantic early exchanges, the game settled into a calmer, more measured pace. City came closest to opening the scoring, with David Silva collecting Yaya Toure’s crossfield pass, but the Spaniard’s pull-back was thumped clear by Jones.
In a half of few chances, it was adventurous fullback Rafael who had the home side’s best effort. The Brazilian latched onto Van Persie’s flick-on, but his looping, poked finish could only find the outside of Joe Hart’s near post – though the England keeper looked to have it covered.
United began the second half well, with Sir Alex Ferguson geeing up the crowd with a fist-pump, but it was City which struck first, lighting the blue touch paper.
Gareth Barry robbed Giggs in midfield and burst up the left flank, before squaring the ball to Silva on the edge of the box. The Spaniard then teed up Milner, whose powerful effort flicked off Jones and flew into the net to give City a 51st-minute lead.
But the advantage lasted just eight minutes before United had equalized. Van Persie, in the midst of a goal drought, turned provider to send in an inch-perfect cross towards Jones, with the defender heading the ball against Kompany and into the back of the net.
The play dulled somewhat after that goal rush, until substitute Aguero produced a moment of magic. With few options and being pushed further and further away from goal, the Argentine finally unleashed a ferocious shot that thundered into the roof of the net.
United tried to mount a response, with Sir Alex introducing super-sub Chicharito and Patrice Evra heading straight at Hart, but it was in vain as City clung on to claim a morale-boosting win which delays the Red Devils’ wait for a 20th championship crown.

Galatasaray 3-2 Real Madrid (Agg 3-5): Sneijder and Drogba on song but Blancos progress to last four
Real Madrid was made to sweat in Istanbul but held on during a 3-2 defeat away to Galatasaray, a result which nevertheless assured the Spanish club's passage into the last four of the Champions League with a 5-3 victory on aggregate.
Los Blancos looked set to cruise through when Cristiano Ronaldo opened up a four-goal lead in the opening minutes, but a timid response by the visitors encouraged the Turkish giants to chase the impossible, which they almost achieved as Emmanuel Eboue, Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba hit in the second half.
Ronaldo finally ended their hopes with a late goal that sealed victory.
Virtually assured of a place in the Champions League semifinals thanks to a dominant 3-0 win in the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid still began the second leg in belligerent fashion, pushing forward immediately in search of a goal.
Angel Di Maria was almost the man to provide it in the first minute of play, picking up a loose ball after Fernando Muslera's rushed clearance outside the area. The Argentine went for the net, but with Galatasaray defenders scampering back he saw the effort fall just the wrong side of the post.
Away fans, however, did not have to wait long, as after just seven minutes of play the Merengue got the strike that would surely put the tie beyond the faintest of doubts.
An overlapping Sami Khedira streaked past on the right-hand side, and put a teasing ball into the middle. As the Turkish backline failed to react, Ronaldo was on hand to gleefully tap home, recording his 49th Champions League goal and drawing level with the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano in the historical charts.
Despite that early blow, Galatasaray held its head high, dominating possession against Jose Mourinho's men and attempting to match its rivals. Drogba was the target of much of the Turks' attacking play, but was let down by poor service and his own fading reflexes, and struggled to make an impact. Madrid sat back and was content to allow its opponents to do the running, while on the counterattack it remained a frightening force.
This potency on the break was demonstrated when Di Maria went within a hair's breadth of adding a second. The midfielder latched to a wonderful flick from Ronaldo to break free on the left, and looked destined to put his name on the board. He did not count on the heroics of Muslera, however, as the goalkeeper pulled off a breathtaking fingertip save to keep Angel out, and ensure that the gap would not widen as the two sides went in for the break.
The Turkish side continued its unlikely pursuit in the second half, and was rewarded with its first goal of the tie 57 minutes in - and it was one worth waiting for.
A speculative ball across the Madrid area was not picked up by anyone, which allowed Eboue to meet it just on the edge of the area. The right back had been disappointing during the opening hour, but atoned with a stunning power shot which left Lopez no chance to save, and put Galatasaray on the board.
The hosts were now buoyant, and could have reduced the deficit to 'just' three goals if Sneijder had converted a golden chance. The Netherlands star found himself in the right place at the back post after a low cross was deflected into his path but, gloriously unmarked, he fluffed a left-footed shot to save Madrid from falling behind on the night.
The midfielder was not done, however, Cutting inside his marker from deep, Sneijder went to to release a bullet of a shot that put his side ahead, at least for the second leg.
The Turkish crowd, from a position of despair, could not believe their eyes. Drogba set up an unthinkable last 20 minutes with a wonderful backheel into the net, putting Galatasaray up 3-1 and leaving just two goals for the comeback.
Drogba thought he had leveled the tie before being pulled back for an offside and Madrid lived to breathe another day, with Ronaldoconfirming his team's passage with a strong finish in the final minute.
The Merengue join Borussia Dortmund in the penultimate stage of the competition with Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain fighting to claim the final two spots on Wednesday evening.

Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga (Agg 3-2): Two goals in injury time seal victory in breathless encounter
Borussia Dortmund booked its space in the final four of the Champions League with a miraculous 3-2 win over Malaga at the Signal Iduna Park.
BVB failed to make its dominance count at La Roselada last week and it looked to be a recurring theme when Joaquin put Manuel Pellegrini's ahead, but Robert Lewandowski equalized before the break. Eliseu looked to have broken BVB hearts with a late goal but two stoppage-time strikes courtesy of Marco Reus and Felipe Santana ensured an unbelievable comeback.
With the tie so delicately balanced from the first leg, such a conservative approach to the early stages from both teams was somewhat predictable.
As the minutes ticked by the hosts became more adventurous and in the 16th minute Lewandowski got his first chance to shoot at goal. He elected for an audacious 25-yard chip from Mario Gotze's pass but his overcooked attempt floated over the stranded Willy Caballero's goal.
Los Boquerones had struggled to string a meaningful attack together but in the 25th minute when they silenced the Signal Iduna Park.
Julio Baptista pounced on a poor clearance from Felipe Santana and his pass found Joaquin. After a tight give-and-go with Isco, the 31-year-old cut inside onto his left foot and sent a low shot past Roman Weidenfeller to net a huge away goal.
Apprehension and frustration began to spread around the stadium but the home fans' worries were eased five minutes before halftime. Reus flicked Gotze's pass beautifully into the path of Lewandowski who rounded Willy and slotted the ball into the empty net to finish off a superb team move.
Joaquin was gifted a free header in the last action of the first half which Weidenfeller comfortably held and the start of the second half offered similarly enticing opportunities for both sides.
Lewandowski was unable to guide his shot past Willy after some more quick, crisp interplay with Gotze and minutes later the Weidenfeller managed to get a strong hand to the ball to keep Joaquin's header.
Malaga continued to squeeze the play and force the Bundesliga side into sending the long ball up from the back. However, when Sergio Sanchez failed to deal with one such pass Gotze could not find the from a glorious position in the 53rd minute.
The organization of Pellegrini's defense was exemplary and after Dortmund had a goal ruled out correctly for offside, Duda's thunderous effort almost added to the disappointment of the home fans.
The heroics of Malaga goalkeeper Willy were a huge reason that the first leg ended goalless and the Argentine was at it again in the closing stages, denying both Reus and Gotze from close range
The home fans' misery looked to have been compounded in the 82nd minute as a swift break from the visitors ended with second-half substitute Eliseu sweeping home from close range.
Yet there was still time for one of the most dramatic comebacks in Champions League history, which Reus began as he slotted home following a long ball in the 91st minute.
Two minutes later the turnaround was complete and the stadium went from despair to unbridled jubilation.
Following a cross from the left a scramble in the area was put to an end when Santana swept the ball into the net from one yard out.
Somehow Dortmund, which will be joined in the semifinals by Real Madrid, managed to keep its unbeaten home record in the tournament intact as the victory ended Malaga's fairytale run.

Pellegrini blasts officials after Malaga exit
The Malaga manager was enraged by the performance of the officials during his side's heartbreaking defeat at Signal Iduna Park, claiming the host's winner was offside.
Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini has launched a withering attack on referee Craig Thomson and his assistants after his side's controversial Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.
The Spanish side seemed set to qualify for the semifinals after Eliseu struck to put them 2-1 ahead on the night, and on aggregate, along with the away-goal edge.
Marco Reus drew Dortmund level in the first minute of injury time, though, before Felipe Santana scrambled home the winner from a seemingly offside position with just seconds to go, sparking wild celebrations among the hosts but furious protests from the visitors.
"They did not want us in the semifinals," an enraged Pellegrini said of the match officials. "After it went 2-1 for us, there were so many refereeing mistakes.
"The third goal was a hammer blow for us. There were two dismissals, and there was also their offside in the act of making it 3-2.
"In the final 10 minutes, we were so impaired (by the officials). In such conditions, everything becomes very difficult."
Pellegrini admitted that Malaga will struggle to get over the nature of its European exit, but called on his players to finish their Liga campaign on a high.
"It is certainly not a bitterness that will go away from one day to the next," Pellegrini said. "You can talk about a cruel defeat, but I do not agree, we have played a great game.
"Now we are looking to finish the championship as best we can."
