Manchester United faced an unenviable task when they travelled to Manchester City on Sunday, given their local rivals had won their previous 15 Premier League matches.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side stunned the league leaders, inflicting their first defeat in any competition since November.
Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer, was particularly impressed with left-back Luke Shaw, who scored the second goal in the 2-0 win while also playing his part in a hard-earned clean sheet.
The 25-year-old is one of three Man Utd players selected in Shearer's Team of the Week.
