Premier League Results Week 34: 2017 EPL Scores, Top Scorers and Updated Table

Manchester United and Manchester City couldn't live up to the massive hype during Thursday's Premier League action as Week 34's big derby finished in a scoreless draw.

Apart from a late red card for Marouane Fellaini―who was booked for head-butting Sergio Aguero―little of note happened at the Etihad Stadium as both teams' top forwards were kept quiet.

Jonathan Northcroft of the Sunday Times summed things up like this:

As shared by Bleacher Report Football, there was a silver lining for United:

The top scorer's list remains unchanged:

Position	Player	Team	Goals

2	Harry Kane	Tottenham Hotspur	20
3	Alexis Sanchez	Arsenal	19
4	Diego Costa	Chelsea	19
5	Zlatan Ibrahimovic	Manchester United	17
6	Sergio Aguero	Manchester City	17
7	Dele Alli	Tottenham Hotspur	16
8	Eden Hazard	Chelsea	15
9	Jermain Defoe	Sunderland	14
10	Christian Benteke	Crystal Palace	14

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic sidelined due to injury, all eyes were on Aguero, the only member of the Premier League's top 10 scorers in action.

The Argentina international wasted a ton of half-chances and one major look late in the second half when he pulled a shot wide from a promising position.

His poor finishing was completely overshadowed by his role in Fellaini's red card, however. After the Belgian brought him down to halt a counter attack, Aguero went to confront Fellaini, and when the midfielder lowered his head, the City man didn't hesitate, dropping to the pitch in apparent agony.

Sports writer Dale O'Donnell was one of many who didn't like his antics one bit:

As soon as the red card was brandished, Aguero got back up as if nothing had happened.

There were more talking points, with Claudio Bravo suffering an injury while making a catch. The stopper needed a stretcher to leave the pitch, and he seems likely to miss some crucial matches this close to the end of the season.

After 90 bland minutes, the result seemed to favour injury-stricken United more, although City maintained their lead in the standings. Per the club's official Twitter account, captain Vincent Kompany was somewhat disappointed:

It's fair to say there were no real winners Thursday, least of all the fans who travelled to the Etihad Stadium or tuned in to watch.
