Manchester United eliminated Manchester City out of the FA Cup with a 3-2 third-round win in a drama-packed derby at Etihad Stadium in a clash that could turn into a revenge game for Manu but in the end didn’t.<\/h1>\n

Manchester \/ NationalTurk – Manchester United surged into a 3-0 halftime lead after the controversial early sending-off of Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany and looked poised to exact full revenge for their humiliating 6-1 home league trashing by their rival neighbours earlier this season.<\/p>\n

Manu striker Wayne Rooney was in form , having scored twice, netting either side of the controversial sending off of Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, with Danny Welbeck also on target to make it 3-0 for the Red Devils before the half-time break for the visitors.<\/p>\n

Manchester City fans were soaking wet and had to endure their teams woeful suffering in the hands of their fiercest rivals. More than few City fans couldn’t resist imagining a worse defeat than 6-1 at the halftime, as their City was one man and 3 goals behind Manchester United.<\/p>\n
