At this moment, the Manchester derby is taking place at the Etihad Stadium. City and United are meeting in the 16th round of the English Premier League.
The first half wasn’t the most exciting and was rather dull in terms of dangerous moments. The hosts opened the scoring in the middle of the half when Josko Gvardiol scored a well-placed header from a corner.

Immediately after that, a funny incident occurred in Manchester City's half. In an aerial duel, Walker pushed Rasmus Højlund, who decided to confront his aggressor. Kyle didn't hesitate and, from minimal head-to-head contact, went down as if knocked out. The referee didn’t appreciate the Englishman’s acting skills and issued yellow cards to both players.
Legendary "Red Devils" footballer Roy Keane did not hold back when commenting on the incident. The Sky Sports pundit criticized Manchester City defender Kyle Walker.
"Walker should be ashamed. To go down like that… Look at this. I don’t even know the guy, and I’m embarrassed for him."
The first half ended with a narrow lead for City, who are looking to emerge from their ongoing crisis.
