THE MANCHESTER DERBY had to be delayed after a flare was launched onto the pitch.
The flare was launched into Andre Onana’s penalty area following Manchester City’s equaliser.
Play was stopped for around a minute as the flare was cleared after landing next to the Manchester United goalkeeper.
Fortunately, Onana was not struck by the pyrotechnic, which fire marshals removed from the pitch.
After a brief pause in the action, referee Andy Madley allowed the match to restart.
Onana had been spectacularly beaten just moments earlier.
Phil Foden cut in from the right before bending a left-footed strike into the top corner to level the match.
The goal was his 10th in the Premier League this season, putting him just one behind his tally from last term.
It also cancelled out his England team-mate Marcus Rashford’s opener.
The United man had opened the scoring after just eight minutes with an impressive long-range strike of his own.
