The Frenchman spurned a glorious early chance to put United ahead when he get on the end of a floated Callum Robinson cross but headed wide. The hosts were restricted to long-range efforts early on but De Bruyne, Rodrigo and Raheem Sterling were all unable to work goalkeeper Dean Henderson. United thought they had claimed the lead on 29 minutes when Mousset raced onto a long ball from John Fleck and fired home. It was a let-off for City but they were caught out by a long ball again as Oliver Norwood picked out Mousset from just outside his own box. De Bruyne picked out the Argentinian with a fine through ball and Aguero blasted high past Henderson from a narrow angle.
