Man City vs Man United match highlights
Manchester City gave Manchester United a reality check with a comfortable win at the Etihad Stadium last weekend. Erling Haaland has made Premier League history by recording hat-tricks in three successive home matches for Manchester City. Ten Hag becomes the sixth United manager since Alex Ferguson’s retirement to lose his first derby – but had a heavier defeat than either David Moyes or Ralf Rangnick.
Manchester City controlled the possession and went into the lead thanks to a strike from Phil Foden. Haaland scored two goals in the space of three minutes later in the half, before setting up Phil Foden to score his second goal of the derby just before halftime. After halftime, United scored the first goal with Antony scoring a wonderful goal from distance after 56 minutes.
However, United’s hopes of a comeback were dashed with Haaland completing his hattrick and then setting up Foden to do the same. Substitute, Anthony Martial, scored twice in the last 10 minutes but could not save the team from humiliation.
