Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored a hattrick each to give
Manchester City a 6-3 win against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on
Sunday.
The result saw Pep Guardiola’s side maintain their unbeaten run
since the start of the season, with six wins in eight premier league encounters
putting them one point below Arsenal on the League table.
Foden and Haaland both scored twice in the first half while
Antony scored with an excellent strike early in the second half and Anthony
Martial came off the bench to score a late double.
However, United’s efforts amounted to nothing as Foden and
Haaland both added second-half goals to their tally.
The match was the highest-ever scoring Manchester derby in any
competition in what was the two sides’ 187th competitive meeting.
It was also the first time City scored six goals in a home game
against United in all competitions.
In addition, Foden scored his 49th, 50th and 51st goals for City
in all competitions – his first-ever senior hat-trick. Aged 22 years and 127
days, he became the youngest player to reach 50 under Pep Guardiola, surpassing
Lionel Messi’s 22 years and 164 days.
