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.
First-half goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho were enough to see off Jose Mourinho's men, although Zlatan Ibrahimovic did pull one back and Marcus Rashford thought he had equalised after he slotted the ball into the back of the net from an offside position.
City's defensive line held firm and Kolarov is proudly sporting the sacrifices he made for the victory to give Pep Guardiola the first set of bragging rights in his rivalry with Mourinho since they both moved to Manchester.
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.
It's not clear exactly when the tooth went missing, but we don't have a hard time imagining a certain player's elbows dislodging it at some stage during the action.
But the full back's loss is definitely football lookalikes' gain.
