"Putting in what was a sensational performance at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, Manchester City stormed their way to local bragging rights as they claimed a 3-0 romp against bitter local foes Manchester United. Dominating from the opening whistle, it was England international Phil Foden who opened the scoring in the 18th-minute as City's academy graduate headed home from Jeremy Doku's cross."
"Seeking an immediate response after heading into September's International break with back-to-back Premier League defeats, it was then City's attacking talisman who stole centre stage. Bagging a second-half brace in the space of just 15 minutes and sending the Etihad crowd into overdrive, Erling Haaland caused United a string of headaches and took his tally to five goals in his first four Premier League appearances."
"While Man City's rampant performance might steal plenty of the post-match headlines, it was another afternoon to forget for a Manchester United squad who find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare. Blown away by their historic local rivals and mustering just a single win across any competition so far this season, the pressure on Ruben Amorim's shoulders remains at a boiling point."
Manchester City dominated Manchester United 3-0 at the Etihad, with Phil Foden heading home in the 18th minute and Erling Haaland scoring a second-half brace. City controlled the match from the opening whistle and produced a rampant home display that energized the Etihad crowd. Haaland’s two goals in 15 minutes raised his tally to five in four Premier League appearances. Manchester United were overwhelmed, producing only one win across competitions so far this season and facing mounting pressure under Ruben Amorim. City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a notable save from Bryan Mbeumo, but United otherwise failed to impress.
