LONDON - Pep Guardiola rocked old foe Jose Mourinho as Premier League leaders Manchester City extended their perfect start with a 2-1 win over Manchester United, while Arsenal snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory against Southampton on Saturday. But City held firm in the second half despite more nervous moments from Bravo, whose studs-up lunge on Wayne Rooney could have drawn a penalty and a red card. In the first half we were better and won a lot of duels against a physically stronger team," Guardiola said. "In the second half, the long balls, you just pray because it's almost impossible to control that." Crystal Palace ended a three-match winless run as Christian Benteke's first goal for the club inspired a 2-1 success at Middlesbrough.
