Striker Erling Haaland shone with a brace of goals and an assist to help Man City inflict a painful defeat on their neighbors at Old Trafford.
This convincing victory gives Man City 24 points, placing them third in the Premier League table this season. They are two points behind league leaders Tottenham and level on points with second-placed Arsenal, but trail on goal difference.
Meanwhile, under manager Erik ten Hag, Man Utd remain stuck in eighth place with 15 points.
With his brace against Man Utd, Haaland not only helped Man City win but also etched his name into history.
According to Opta statistics, Haaland has scored 20 away goals in just 23 Premier League matches – no other player has achieved a similar number of goals as quickly as Haaland.
Haaland has been involved in 8 goals against Man Utd (5 goals and 3 assists), placing him among the top 5 players with the most goal contributions in the history of Manchester derbies in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland is currently behind only Ryan Giggs (13 goals + assists, 29 matches), Eric Cantona (10 goals + assists, 6 matches), Wayne Rooney (9 goals + assists, 21 matches) and Sergio Aguero (8 goals + assists, 13 matches).
However, striker Haaland only needed 3 matches to score 8 goals and provide 8 assists.
This season, the Norwegian striker has also scored 11 goals in 10 appearances, leading the Premier League's top scorer list.
Haaland's goalscoring record is even equal to the total number of goals the Red Devils have scored so far this season.
Along with Haaland, coach Pep Guardiola also made history after this match.
Pep Guardiola has beaten three different Manchester United managers at Old Trafford (Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Erik ten Hag), equaling Brian Clough's record.
Across all competitions, this is Man City's seventh victory under manager Pep Guardiola at Old Trafford. Only Arsenal (8 wins) is the opponent against whom Pep has won the most matches at their home ground.
