Erling Haaland converted a historic penalty to give Manchester City the lead 26 minutes into Sunday's derby clash with Manchester United.
City had never previously been awarded a spot-kick at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
But that changed following a VAR review which resulted in Rasmus Hojlund being punished for grabbing City midfielder Rodri inside the 18-yard box.
Onana had saved a spot-kick in United's 1-0 win over Copenhagen on Tuesday but he got nowhere near Haaland's strike after diving the wrong way.

This was the fourth Manchester derby goal of Haaland's career - after he netted a hat-trick in a 6-3 win at the Etihad Stadium last season.
He scored his fifth early in the second half on Sunday when he headed home following a Bernardo Silva cross.
Haaland then assisted Phil Foden to wrap up a 3-0 win for City.
