A defining moment in Sunday's Manchester derby came in the 56th minute, when Phil Foden scored the equaliser for City after the Sky Blues fell behind their rivals in the first half.

City would go on to complete the comeback thanks to another Foden goal and a late strike by Erling Haaland, but the seconds leading up to Foden's equaliser continued to be a topic of discussion after the game ended.

United manager Erik ten Hag was shown a yellow card for vociferously protesting what he thought was a foul committed by Kyle Walker on Marcus Rashford in the lead-up to City's first goal, and after the final whistle he explained the booking to Sky Sports.

"Let's say this - it is debatable there was contact [on Rashford] and it's a defining moment in the game, in the counter-attack they scored," Ten Hag said.

"It was soft [foul on Rashford], but when you are in a full sprint you lose your rhythm that is why he went down."

The Red Devils' boss explained that he sought out Rashford's opinion on the non-call, reiterating his stance that play should've been stopped.

Ten Hag told BBC Match of the Day: "I looked back and asked Rashy [Rashford] if there was contact, maybe soft but there was contact."
