On 8 January, 2012, Manchester United were able to beat Manchester City in a 2-3 FA Cup encounter away from Old Trafford. Manchester City’s FA Cup game against Manchester United did not go well for them as Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck found the net for the Red Devils. Pro soccer star Wayne Rooney broke the deadlock just 10 minutes into the game and missed a penalty kick in the 40th minute after Welbeck had registered his name on the scoring sheet in the 30th minute. Rooney’s brace was decisive in the away team’s win. Of course, 2nd-half goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and Argentina’s Sergio Arguero were not enough to save Manchester City. The FA Cup derby which took place at the Etihad Stadium saw both teams splitting the ball possession percentage.
