Haaland excels, Man City crushes Man Utd

The last time they met Man City at Old Trafford, Man Utd won 2-1. However, in the context of poor form and a weak squad, the home advantage was not enough to help Man Utd get points in the derby match in round 10 of the Premier League.

Coach Erik ten Hag's players only caused trouble for Man City in the first few minutes of the match. The visitors quickly established dominance and continuously attacked the opponent's right flank. However, the defending champions' goal did not come from such a move.

Man Utd players and home fans were stunned when the referee stopped the match to review the footage of a situation that had happened a few minutes earlier, which seemed like nothing had happened. Scott McTominay pulled down Rodri in the penalty area and Erling Haaland successfully converted the penalty to open the scoring for the visitors.

Man Utd had a chance to equalize shortly after that but McTominay's powerful shot was saved by goalkeeper Ederson. On the other hand, the home team had to rely on the brilliance of Andre Onana to avoid conceding a second goal in the first half.

After the break, Man City continued to dominate the game. The visitors attacked in a variety of ways and gradually increased the pressure on the opponent's defense. Man Utd players were caught up in the opponent's complex movements and were constantly in a state of lacking numbers to mark or close in and fill the gaps.

Man City had 12 shots in the second half, half of which were on target (according to Whoscored). Goalkeeper Onana played well in this match, but he could not stop Man City from scoring.

Haaland comfortably headed the ball unmarked in the 49th minute, after a familiar Man City attack. In the 80th minute, the Norwegian striker had the chance to complete his hat-trick but decided to assist Phil Foden to make it 3-0.

Man Utd collapsed in this match. Coach Erik ten Hag's adjustments could not create any improvement in the home team's game. Man Utd fans left early when their team had almost no notable chances, except for Rashford's close-range shot that went wide.

Man City won 3-0 and continued to stand in 3rd place in the rankings. Coach Pep Guardiola's team is behind Arsenal on the extra index and 2 points behind the leader Tottenham.

Result: Man Utd 0-3 Man City
