The high stakes Sunday 15th Manchester derby which ended in a 2-1 win for Manchester United was not too much of a loss for City fan Alphonse Mwari who won the all-expense paid trip to watch a Live EPL match in the UK, courtesy of Guinness Cleansheet challenge, beating 35 participants in the first draw and 11 finalists.
