Manchester City’s social media account has reminded the club’s supporters of a special moment which happened on this day four years ago.
The mood has changed at Manchester City over the past few days after Nottingham Forest claimed a surprising draw at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
This has dealt Pep Guardiola’s team a major blow in their quest for the Premier League title, as Arsenal now lead the way by seven points.
And now, it seems Man City’s social media admin is attempting to soften this blow by highlighting something the club did on this day back in 2022.
Manchester City share Manchester derby flashback
Manchester City have posted on social media to remind their supporters what happened at the Etihad Stadium on this day four years ago.
The Citizens defeated Manchester United 4-1 in a local derby win that would go on to help them lift the Premier League trophy.

Ex-City academy star Jaden Sancho cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne’s opening goal, but the Belgian playmaker found the net once more before half-time.
Man City only got better in the second half and increased their advantage thanks to two Riyad Mahrez goals, giving them a decisive victory.
Man City won the Premier League by a single point
City’s triumph over Man United showed just how important one match can be, as without those three points, they would not have won the league.
Indeed, Man City finished the 2021/22 campaign on 93 points, while Liverpool came second after recording a tally of 92.
Looking ahead, this highlights the necessity of City getting as many wins as possible in the coming weeks.
