Manchester City secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the Manchester derby. The Premier League match took place at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Erling Haaland opened the scoring for City with a penalty in the first half, which was awarded after a VAR check. Haaland then added a second goal after the break and assisted Phil Foden for the third goal.
The win moves City level on points with second-placed Arsenal and two points behind Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s poor performance leaves them in eighth place, eight points off the top four. The Red Devils will look to bounce back in their upcoming matches against Newcastle United in the EFL Cup and Fulham in the league.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have won three consecutive games and will face Bournemouth in their next Premier League match. This victory marks City’s seventh win at Old Trafford under manager Pep Guardiola and the first time they have won there by a margin of three or more goals under the Spanish gaffer.
Manchester United’s defeat against City is their third time losing by three or more goals in a Premier League home game against them.
In the Manchester United team, the starting players were Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelöf, Christian Eriksen, Sofyan Amrabat, Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Højlund. On the other hand, Manchester City’s lineup included Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Julian Álvarez, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker, and Ederson.

Manchester City Defeat Manchester United In The Manchester Derby

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has named Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and Ederson as the three players who were incredible in the semi-final first leg of the Uefa Champions League match against Real Madrid played at Bernabeu last night.
The Belgian scored the equaliser for City after Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for the hosts and defending European champions at the Santiago Bernabeu.
De Bruyne’s 67th-minute strike from the edge of the box proved enough to earn a draw for City with the tie now set to be decided at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
With three shots on target in total and 25 successful passes, City’s No.17 was named Man of the Match by UEFA.
Speaking in his press conference after the game, Guardiola was quick to praise his midfield maestro.
<blockquote>
He knows how important he is for us.
He made an incredible performance for many reasons and I’m happy for him. In this type of game in this competition – semi-finals and finals – you need your best players.
Ederson and Kyle Walker were exceptional against one of the toughest opponents that you can face today worldwide. In general, everyone was really good.
</blockquote>
By equalising in the Spanish capital, Debruyne became the first player to score against Real Madrid in 413 minutes of Champions League football.
