Dealing with the threat of Raheem Sterling and Manchester City is one of the most difficult challenges a Premier League defender can face.
But, for the second time this season, Aaron Wan-Bissaka rose to the occasion and was able to help Manchester United earn bragging rights in the derby.
Wan-Bissaka won four tackles, 12 of 14 duels and made eight recoveries, while not once being dribbled past by Sterling or any other Man City player.
It was a performance that inspired a 2-0 win and earned the 22-year-old a place in Premier League Champion Alan Shearer's Matchweek 29 Team of the Week.
