Manchester City moved clear winners in the derby with a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday.
Phil Foden opened the scoring before Erling Haaland grabbed a fine brace to wrap up the win.
Foden put City ahead in the first half with a headed finish after clever build-up play, giving the hosts the breakthrough their steady control of possession deserved.
United responded with occasional counterthrusts but lacked a cutting final ball and were unable to test City’s goalkeeper consistently.
City turned the game decisively in the second half when Haaland, a constant menace throughout, converted twice to finish off United.
The Norway striker’s movement and clinical finishing underlined a return to the form that has made him one of Europe’s most feared forwards.
