😳 Sleepy Manchester Derby finally bursts into life

Manchester United's trip across Manchester to take on Manchester City has finally sparked into life following a turgid first half an hour.

Neither side managed a shot on target in a cagey opening 30 minutes, but the shackles were finally broken when Josko Gvardiol headed home a cross from Kevin de Bruyne.

Then minutes later, Kyle Walker and Rasmus Hojlund came together and a scuffle involving players from both sides ensued.

Could that be the catalyst for the game to burst into life?
