Gary Neville says Manchester derby result won't affect title race

Image: Aguero: hit City's winner against United

Gary Neville applauded Sergio Aguero's winner in the Manchester derby - but says the Argentine's lack of goals this season has dented City's title challenge.

Offside
There was a question mark over James Milner's opener for City, with his deflected drive from the edge of the box passing Tevez who appeared to be in an offside position in front of United keeper David de Gea. However, Neville refused to be too critical of the officials for not flagging the City forward as offside. "These are difficult calls for linesmen and refs to give - particularly when none of the United players are complaining," he said. "Technically it is offside but it is a difficult one to give because there are so many bodies in the way."
