The season totals have been updated here but I thought it worthwhile taking a closer look at the individual game numbers from the derby victory.
Team entry summary
| Team | Carry | Turnover | Header | Short pass | Med pass | Long pass | Total |
| City | 17 | 1 | 3 | 14 | 7 | 4 | 46 |
| United | 12 | 2 | 0 | 27 | 17 | 3 | 61 |
So, United had more final third entries. Surprised? It is the first time this season that City have had fewer entries than the opposition and in three of the five games thus far had allowed fewer than 30 entries (42 away to Stoke the other game).
Over half of United's entries came from either a short pass or medium pass whereas City's was slightly under 50%, with a higher proportion being from carries.

City's overall shots per entry total of 26.09% was slightly higher than the season average and it was clear that their shot total was generated from entries either from carries or short passes.
United of course had fewer shots which meant that their respective totals were far lower.

The interesting note here is that 30 of United's 61 entries were generated by either Wayne Rooney or Michael Carrick, which, before I totted up the totals was very evident from watching the game back again.
City's attack on the other hand was far more balanced, in particular their full backs getting eight entries compared to United's two,

A stark difference here is that 43 of United's 61 entries resulted in either a dispossession (tackle) or turnover (ceding possession to the opposition by way of an errant pass). City were far more clinical with only 27 of their 46 ending in this manner, a slightly lower percentage than the season total of 164/268.
The problem for United was that Carrick went 10/14 and Rooney 9/16 (with an additional four forced back out) in terms of dispossessions or turnovers, which given the reliance on these two players to generate entries was telling in terms of how little threat United generated.
They overriding number though is in looking at the shots City generated. They were extremely effective in possession and able to manouevre and utilise space going forward which meant City were able to create quality chances and get shots on goal, particularly from inside the area where they got seven of their 12 shots off.
