Manchester United ended a four-match losing run against Manchester City in style on Sunday, beating their fierce rival 4-2 in the Premier League to signal a power shift for the red half of the city.

United's sixth straight league win came despite the soon-to-be-deposed champions going ahead through Sergio Aguero's eighth-minute opener.

Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini scored to put United ahead at halftime, before goals by Juan Mata and Chris Smalling in a seven-minute span midway through the second half - Aguero grabbed a late consolation for City.
