Man City ratings and match pictures as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden batter Man Utd
Check out how we rated Manchester City’s players after their derby win.
Manchester City ripped apart Manchester Unted at the Etihad Stadium wth an incredible display of attacking football.
It finished 6-3 to the hosts with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden each scring a hat-trick however the three-goal gap flattered United who were no match for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The scoreline flattered United, with Antony netting in the second half before Anthony Martial grabbed a brace late on.
Haaland, whose treble was his third in a row at home in what has been a superb start to life in the Premier League, told Match of the Day afterwards: “It’s been good, I felt it a little bit before the game that something special is going to happen and we saw today that some special things happened. It was nice.
“On Friday I felt it in the whole training ground. It’s these games I want to play in. These are the best games where there’s a bit extra.
“Confidence is good, it’s always been good. After we played against Liverpool in the Community Shield it was still good after. I think it was good that match happened, that something happened and [I thought] I have to be a bit more ready.”
Here’s how we rated City’s players...
The scoreline flattered United, with Antony netting in the second half before Anthony Martial grabbed a brace late on.
5. João Cancelo - 6
Made a few decent clearances perhpas struggled with concentration a little near the end as he conceded a penalty with a sloppy challenge
6. Ilkay Gundogan - 7
A hard-working display in midfield, Ilkay Gundogan didn’t allow United any opportunity to play and almost got on the scoresheet himself in the first half but his free kick struck the outside of the post
7. Kevin De Bruyne - 8
Superb in the first half, his passing was incredible and the cross in for Erling Haaland’s second goal was simply sensational. Was a little quieter after the break and came off with 15 minutes to go
8. Bernardo Silva - 8
Ran the show in the first half and kicked things offwith an assist for the opener. Slightly quieter in the second half but still excellent on the ball and made things look so simple as usual
