Manchester City moved to within six points of Premier League leaders Chelsea with a 1-0 victory over neighbours Manchester United at the Etihad.

Sergio Aguero got the game's only goal, while United played the majority of the game with ten men after Chris Smalling was shown two yellow cards in the first half.

United's defensive woes are worsened still further with the news that Marcos Rojo suffered a dislocated shoulder in that game.

The win puts Manchester City just two points shy of second place Southampton.

At Villa Park this evening, Tottenham's two late goals put them ahead of Aston Villa.

Villa took the lead through Andi Weimann in the 16th minute, but were reduced to ten men midway through the second half with Christian Benteke sent off.

Spurs equalised six minutes from time through Nacer Chadli, but then won it when Kane's free kick was deflected off Nathan Baker on its way to Brad Guzan's net just before injury time.

Manchester City 1-0 Manchester United

(MC: Aguero 63')
