Manchester rivals share honors
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 10 - 2015

Manchester United and Manchester City played out a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford in the Premier League Sunday, while Tottenham surged to a big victory at Bournemouth.
United went closest to winning against City when substitute Jesse Lingard turned a high ball from Anthony Martial onto the crossbar before Chris Smalling had a low shot turned around the post by Joe Hart.
The point moves City to the top of the Premier League standings. Manuel Pellegrini's side is level on 22 points with Arsenal but has a superior goal difference. United stays fourth on 20 points.
"We created more chances but didn't finish them and that's disappointing," United manager Louis van Gaal said. "You need to win these games for the fans."
Pellegrini was happy his side avoided defeat but not a fan of his team's defensive performance.
"I am satisfied with a point but I don't like to play in this way," Pellegrini said. "It's important to have a point here, another point in the table, but I don't think it's the way the team must play.
"If you can't win it, then don't lose it by not concentrating."
Juergen Klopp's first home Premier League match as Liverpool manager ended in a third successive draw as Southampton's Sadio Mane equalized substitute Christian Benteke's goal with five minutes left at Anfield.
Harry Kane scored a hat trick as Tottenham came from behind to thrash Bournemouth 5-1.
Matt Ritchie put Bournemouth ahead after only 49 seconds before Kane leveled with a penalty. Mousa Dembele and Erik Lamela scored to put Tottenham comfortably ahead at halftime, before Kane completed his treble.
Sunderland got its first win of the season with a 3-0 victory against northeastern England rival Newcastle at the Stadium of Light.
Newcastle was the strongest team in the opening stages but its performance was derailed when captain Fabricio Coloccini conceded a penalty on the stroke of halftime and was shown a red card after blocking a run in the penalty area from Steven Fletcher.
Adam Johnson converted the spot kick, before Billy Jones and Fletcher also found the back of the net.
The win moved Sunderland off the bottom of the table and into 18th in the league on six points, above Newcastle.
Aston Villa drops to last on the day it fired manager Tim Sherwood. Villa has lost its last six league games and has not won since the first day of the season at Bournemouth.
