Summary Manchester United registered a 3-2 victory over Manchester City in the English Premier League.

 

Robin van Persie scored in the third minute of stoppage time Sunday to send Manchester United to a 3-2 victory over Manchester City, ending the champions  unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

 

The outcome left Manchester United six points ahead of its neighbor. City hadn t lost at home in the league since December 2010.

 

Van Persie spurned Manchester City s advances in the offseason and left Arsenal in August. His goal off a free kick wiped out City s comeback. The hosts had responded to Wayne Rooney s two first-half scores with goals from Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta after the break.

 

Also Sunday, Everton dislodged Tottenham from fourth place by winning 2-1 with two stoppage-time goals. Liverpool won 3-2 at West Ham.
