On that note, we're calling it a night. To sum up: Vincent Kompany scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City moved above Manchester United to regain their place at the top of the Premier League. But, as we've just been saying, it's not all over yet. Two MASSIVE games remain for each side. So, my friends, our LIVE! ends here, but our Twitter feed does not. Get on over @GoalUK for some more reaction to this evening's game. Hartamaniacs, I bid you farewell.

nars one nars king on Twitter: “how about city dropping points at newcastle and man united bouncing back.Its far from over.Newccastle are also hungry for top 4.”
EXACTLY. Read More

Manchester United, meanwhile, play Swansea at Old Trafford in the late game on Sunday, a match which Roberto Mancini has already claimed will be “easy”, before a tough trip to Sunderland on the last day of the season. So, I reckon those fixtures pretty much confirm that it’s not yet wrapped up, then? Read More

Fair play indeed, Chris from Basingstoke, fair play indeed. It wasn’t a classic, I’ll give you that, but tonight’s game may have gone a long way to deciding the title. However, it’s not all over yet - oh no - with Manchester City travelling to Newcastle on Sunday before facing QPR at home. Not easy fixtures at all. A Newcastle side looking to bounce back from their drubbing against Wigan and who still have a chance of making the Champions League, and a QPR side who could have a relegation scrap on their hands on the final day. Tricky.

Chris Morrison on Twitter: “At the end of the day game was rubbish utd didn't deserve a goal not sure city did much better but had few more chances so fair play.” Read More

Some more featurific content for you now. Chris Myson, the undisputed King of Captions, has been put together a caption-filled In Pictures on tonight’s game, while the pun-tastic George Ankers has rounded up the best of the evening’s tweets. Check that one out right here - it’s even got a funky new style to it! Read More

Liam Gallagher is meeting all the stars tonight. He’s now tweeted a picture of himself and the legendary Diego Maradona with the caption: “Maradona shakes the hand of God !”. Off. His. Rocker. Read More

Adeniran Aliyu on Twitter: “nani didn't play any impact for d team is d worst player of the match.”
Woah - lay off the Portuguese one. System didn’t help one bit. Read More

Amani Ayuba on Twitter: “I think there‘s a tie for the flop of the night: Giggs, Park & Ferguson. They shouldn‘t be rated above 3.” Read More

Stobart is EVERYWHERE this evening. He’s now in the press conference room at the Etihad, and... get this... who turns up? Liam Gallagher, of course. Yep, he of Oasis fame walks, though I imagine he ‘swaggered’, in and has a chat with Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany. “Viva La Belgian,” he says to the match-winner. Oh dear! Read More

Not so sure about the old age part of that tweet, sanni abdullateep! But yes, Sir Alex Ferguson has certainly been on the receiving end of the most criticism from the tweeters/Hartamaniacs (it’ll catch on, don’t you worry about that) this evening. I’ve maintained for aaaages that the decision to go with Park Ji-Sung - and I hate to jump on the ‘let’s all diss Park’ bandwagon - in big games has never made sense, especially in Champions League finals when the likes of Nani and Dimitar Berbatov have been available. Anyway, it just wasn't their night...

Greg Stobart is a man on a mission tonight. Not content with supplying you with regular updates and player ratings, our correspondent has only gone and had his say on tonight’s events as well, hasn’t he? Kompany a fitting match-winner in momentous Manchester derby victory - have a gander. Read More

“Park Ji-Sung doesn’t even deserve 1/2 out of 10,” says one tweeter. Another adds: “Was Park in the stadium?” Harsh, very harsh... but fair, very fair. What’s wrong with Park? Have his legs gone? Sir Alex Ferguson has relied on him in all the big games in recent seasons, yet this season he’s barely featured from the start when they've needed him. Read More

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: “They're in the driving seat now. They only need to win two games of football. It's not over yet, of course – as long as there's games still to play, it's not over. We've both got the same points, but they have an eight-goal advantage and that's a great advantage at this time in the season. You can look at any season and say that was a bad result, but sometimes that doesn't affect you. But I think Saturday against Everton was the worst game.” Read More

Kingsley Uche Chima on Twitter: “I still believe Rio is spent, the young boys need to learn from a quality defender; Vidic. City has the mental strength to win EPL”
Great shout. Not that Rio Ferdinand is finished, but that Manchester United have missed Nemanja Vidic. If Vidic had been fit all season, would they even be in this position? Read More

Having had a read of Greg Stobart’s player ratings, I think he’s got it spot on. When doesn’t he get it spot on, let’s be honest? If you haven't had a read, I'll pick out the highlights. Greg, like most, has given Vincent Kompany man of the match, while Park Ji-Sung is the flop of the match for putting in a near-non-existent performance. Can't argue with that.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini: “I don’t think that it’s important what I can say for our supporters or my players. It is important that we work well. We go to play Newcastle on Sunday - they [United] play an easy game against Swansea. For this reason I don’t think it changes [anything] for us. For now, we are top of the league but I think that United have a slight advantage yet.” Read More
