Finally the pride has been restored... Rooney brought back the pride to Old Trafford and the United faithful by duly repaying the support from Ferguson and the fans by netting in his 100th of his career...

Nothing as big as your 100th and the winner against Derby rivals Manchester City... The ecstacy was written all over the United faithful, Sir Alex and Wayne himself... By tapping in a simple goal, which was parried by Joe Hart, wouldn't have told you the whole truth of the matter...

It was a moment of magic by Carrick which was wrought on by some headed assist by Korean international, Park Ji Sung... Carrick's first attempt was spilled and Rooney was pouncing in the area waiting to bag the goal...

United created the best of chances with fluid passing and menancing attempts on goal and the first 1/2 an hour saw United keeping City quiet and well within their own half... Rafael Da Silva was in the lineup and he put up a superb performance once again...

having scored on his debut against Arsenal, the young Brazillian, used his speed and tocuhes to overcome and world of challenges. Creating dangerous passes and sending in pint-point crosses, the City defence were overwhelmed by the array of talent in the United attacking force...

However, in the second half, tempers started flaring and blood started to boil as more United players and City players got booked for reckless tackles and Kompany got his nose busted and he started bleeding...

Ronaldo, yea get it right, Cristiano Ronaldo, turned villian for the derby game by getting his butt sent off for a stupid blatant handball...

Ronaldo was issued a second yellow and was given his marching order for an early bath... Having not learnt from a previous Rooney mistake, Ronaldo sarcastically applaused at referee Howard Webb and was graciously spared a yellow card...

United's counter attack proved more than competent to cope with a man down and in the dying moments, Joe Hart, Man City's keeper, came to take a corner and remained there... United after some sloopy defending, cleared the ball and Hart started sprinting to goal...

Rooney hit a half-field ball into Hart's net... The acuracy, and target was there but the keeper recovered enough pace and speed to beat off Rooney's fierce shot from half field for a corner...

When the final whistle sounded, Rooney was given hugs and pats and the City of Manchester Stadium erupted with only cheers and chants of nothing but the best of the United faithful... Onward Man Utd...
