Robin Van Persie wins: Manchester United beat Manchester City in photos

ROBIN Van Persie does it again. The former Arsenal player continues to do as he did last season with the Gunners: pulled an ordinary team up by its bootstraps. His winner came via a deflection from another former Gunner in who left the Emirates in search of a fatter wallet: Sami Nasri. Manchester United are not all that good. Manchester City are also not all that good. But with a great player up front, United won. The match winners get the big bucks – but not at Arsenal, obviously.
