No title celebration for City yet as United win Manchester derby; Liverpool hold off late Everton pressure in goalless derby

Manchester City’s English Premier League title celebrations were put on hold on Saturday as rivals Manchester United produced a remarkable comeback from two goals down to win their derby clash 3-2.
A win for City at the Etihad Stadium would have clinched the title.
But, instead, their first home defeat in the league this season leaves Pep Guardiola’s side with a 13 point lead with six games remaining.
City left several regular starters on the bench ahead of Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Liverpool.
Nonetheless, they were 2-0 up within half an hour, thanks to a Vincent Kompany header from a corner and a clever finish from Ilkay Guendogan.
But two goals from Paul Pogba in the 53rd and 55th minutes brought United level before Chris Smalling, left unmarked in the box, grabbed the winner in the 69th minute.
He side-footed home a floated free kick from Alexis Sanchez.
City felt they should have had a penalty kick when substitute Sergio Aguero went down under a challenge from Ashley Young.
They also came close to an equaliser when David de Gea made a brilliant save to keep out a header from Aguero and Raheem Sterling hit the post.
Meanwhile, Liverpool Football Club survived a late spell of Everton pressure to stretch their record unbeaten run in Merseyside derbies to 17 games with a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park.
The result helped them to consolidate their hold on third place in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Neither Mo Salah nor Roberto Firmino featured in a Liverpool starting line-up which included five changes from the one that faced Manchester City in midweek.
But Juergen Klopp’s side still had the better of the game with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford pulling off impressive first-half saves from Dominic Solanke, James Milner and Virgil Van Dyke.
Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius also had to be at his best.
He dealt with a curling shot from the otherwise ineffectual Yannick Bolasie although Everton seldom showed the forward momentum to threaten his goal.
Wayne Rooney was clearly unhappy to be substituted for the fit-again Idrissa Gueye early in the second half but the impetus remained with Liverpool, who brought on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Firmino.
They were in control until a frantic final 10 minutes in which Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin went close to grabbing an unlikely winner for the home side.
Both goalkeepers were predictably happy with not conceding in a game in which both delivered assured performances.
Karius, who faces constant speculation that Liverpool will replace him in the summer, said he did not feel under pressure to keep his place.
“I don’t feel on trial. If I believe everything I read, we will have 10 goalkeepers at the club next season,” he said.
“I was just happy to keep a clean sheet and get my fingertips to the shot (from Bolasie).”
On a slippery pitch, Pickford also impressed in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate. “It was tough conditions for us keepers. If I keep a clean sheet, I am happy.”
Everton Manager, Sam Allardyce, defended his decision to take off Rooney, which he said was down to the need for “fresh legs” in midfield.
“I make the decisions and I thought we did the right thing to make those changes to give us a better chance,” he said.
The result means that both league games between the old rivals have been drawn this season following the 1-1 at Anfield.
Tottenham Hotspur can displace Liverpool in third place if they beat Stoke City by five goals or more later on Saturday.
