On the side of those led by Erik Ten Hag, the scorers were Antony and Martialwho was the author of a doublet.
Foden opened the scoring after eight minutes of play, while Haaland stretched the lead with a scoring flurry at 34 and 37. The young English figure was in charge of sealing the 4-0 with which both teams went at halftime.
11 minutes into the second half, United pulled one back thanks to a good long-range shot from Antony. Despite the siege of the Red Devils after getting the discount, City’s offensive power allowed them to extend the lead to a resounding 6-1 thanks to new goals from Haaland and Foden.
During the last minutes of the game it was noticeable how Guardiola’s team relaxed, a situation that allowed United to discount thanks to two goals from Martial at 84 and 91 minutes.
In any case, this rout was far from the most lopsided in the history of the Manchester Derby. On two occasions, City won 6-1 (1926 and 2011) against their main rivals, while a 5-0 result was also given once in favor of each one.
With this victory, Manchester City reached 20 units and was placed just one point behind the leader, Arsenal.. On the other hand, for United the string of four wins in a row ended and they are in sixth place with 12 points.
Haaland, the scoring machine
The Norwegian Erling Haaland arrived at the Manchester team during the last transfer market and quickly made it clear that he is up to par with the Premier League.
In just eight games in the English league, the “Android” has already scored 14 goals (1.75 per game) and has seven more than Harry Kane in the scoring charts.
His impressive statistics do not end there: in just two Champions League games this season he has already scored three goals, reaching a total of 26 in just 21 games played.
