Ashley Young (left) earlier scored United's equalizer, while Juan Mata put United 3-1 ahead after the break.

Sergio Aguero had put City ahead in the eighth minute, but Young (out of picture) leveled on 14 as he beat England keeper Joe Hart.

City captain Vincent Kompany (right) was lucky to escape with a yellow card for a late tackle on Daley Blind, but had to come off at halftime due to injury.

Chris Smalling (right) headed United's fourth goal from Young's free-kick.

Aguero scored his second of the match to pass the 100-goal milestone since joining City in 2012 but his hopes of a third Premier League title this season are almost over, with United now up to third place above his team.

City ended Sunday 12 points behind leader Chelsea, which won 1-0 at lowly Queens Park Rangers earlier Sunday thanks to an 88th-minute goal from Cesc Fabregas and went seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal.

Chelsea's celebrations were met by a volley of missiles from the home fans. Branislav Ivanovic (center) complained of being hit by a coin.
