Watch: Pellistri scores again for Man Utd U23s in feisty Man City draw

Facundo Pellistri scored his third goal for Manchester United's Under-23s in a feisty derby draw with Manchester City on Sunday.

James McAtee opened the scoring for the Blues before Ethan Galbraith equalised from the penalty spot.

City lost a man with ten minutes remaining in the first-half when Adrian Bernabe was shown a red card after an awful challenge on Galbraith.

United capitalised on the advantage by scoring through Pellistri just four minutes later.

The Uruguayan, signed from Penarol in the summer, took a short pass from Ethan Laird before tapping in from close range to get his third goal in his last four games.

But it was City who got the next goal through Taylor Harwood-Bellis to make it 2-2.
