Manchester United suffered a setback to their title hopes as they were beaten by derby rivals Manchester City.A poignant minute's silence and tribute to the Munich air disaster victims took place before a game which saw Darius Vassell's strike put City ahead.
United became stifled by a staunch City side who extended their lead with a glanced Benjani Mwaruwari header.
United struggled overall but got a consolation goal when Michael Carrick shot into the corner in injury time.
Carrick's consolation strike from 18 yards came too late for United, who were without Wayne Rooney and lost their first game at home in the league this season.
City's win saw them complete the first league double over their arch-rivals for the first time since the 1969/70 season.
