Manchester City scored three second-half goals to close in on Premier League 2 Division 1 leaders Everton with a 3-1 win over Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village.
United defender Regan Poole was shown a straight red card for a foul early on but the hosts held out until the 51st minute when Brahim Diaz put Simon Davies's City ahead.
Sean Goss quickly equalised but Isaac Buckley-Ricketts restored their lead and then Paolo Fernandes made the match safe with the third.
