Manchester: Pep Guardiola enjoyed victory over his old nemesis Jose Mourinho as his Manchester City side won 2-1 at Manchester United in Saturday&rsquo;s eagerly anticipated derby at Old Trafford.

First-half goals by Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho put City in control and despite new goalkeeper Claudio Bravo&rsquo;s gaffe allowing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to hit back for United, City held firm.
It was the first encounter between Guardiola and Mourinho, former El Clasico sparring partners, since 2013 and gave the former Barcelona coach an eighth win in 17 encounters with the ex-Real Madrid manager.
City&rsquo;s win, their 50th in competitive derby matches, saw them end United&rsquo;s perfect start to the season. It left Guardiola&rsquo;s side and Chelsea, who visit Swansea City on Sunday, as the only teams in the Premier League with 100 per cent records. But Mourinho was angered by referee Mark Clattenburg&rsquo;s decision not to award the home side a penalty after Bravo caught Wayne Rooney with a wild challenge inside the City area.
