Erling Haaland ended Manchester City’s dismantling of Manchester United with a third consecutive home Premier League hat-trick in a chastening afternoon for Erik ten Hag’s team.
This 188th derby was the mother and father of all mismatches, City handing their neighbours a lesson that had them reeling, United 4-0 down at half-time – as at Brentford – and praying, surely, this would not end in a double-digit defeat in full-time. A final humiliation came with 25 minute left when Pep Guardiola made a quadruple substitution, two of those being replaced the scintillating Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne, reports The Guardian.
Antony and Anthony Martial were United’s scorers but their strikes made it first 4-1, then 6-2 and 6-3, on a day when the red devils fans were shown leaving at the interval, being unable to stomach further bullying of their players.
