Aleksandar Kolarov left his front tooth on the Old Trafford pitch after derby battle

The cost of victory

SportsJOE

Derby day victories always rank among the most memorable but this one will definitely stand out even more glaringly in the mind of Alesksandar Kolarov.

The Manchester City left back gave it his all for 90 minutes after which his side took three points away from their fiercest rivals Manchester United.

And Kolarov is proudly sporting the sacrifices he made for the victory.

The Serbia international smiled from ear to ear in the Old Trafford dressing room alongside teammate Willy Caballero and there was a pretty noticeable absence from Kolarov’s gob.

Our money is on a wayward Marouane Fellaini elbow as the culprit for Kolarov’s new look.

But the full back’s loss is definitely football lookalikes’ gain.
