NO AVERAGE JOE ... keeper Joe Hart and City No2 David Platt celebrate
ROBERTO MANCINI claimed Manchester United’s negative tactics cost them.
Alex Ferguson packed his midfield to frustrate City — but it was the Blue half of Manchester celebrating.
Vincent Kompany scored the winner in first-half injury time — and United did not have a shot on target.
It leaves City top of the Premier League on goal difference with two games to play.
The title is now City’s to lose.
Boss Mancini said: “The key was that we wanted to win and they wanted a draw.
“This is the difference. We deserved to win but it was difficult as they had so many behind the ball.
“Every manager can choose his team and for them it was important to play for a draw.
“With a draw, they knew the championship was finished.
“It was an important result. Now we have it in our hands.
“But I’m not happy just for me, I’m happy for our fans.
“It is important we are top now but it is more important to be top on May 13.”
Dream Kompany admits scoring the winner in the derby is a little boy’s dream come true.
He said: “We wanted it so bad, everyone in the team.
