Manchester United v Man City LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Haaland hits double in thrashing
Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City: The champions were completely dominant at Old Trafford as Haaland scored twice in a brilliant display
Erling Haaland’s double helped Manchester City secure derby day delight as lifeless rivals Manchester United were outclassed in an embarrassing home defeat.
The eyes of the footballing world were on Old Trafford as the neighbours met in the 191st Manchester derby and first since Pep Guardiola’s men matched their 1999 treble triumph.
Haaland scored a spot-kick and unmarked header before playing in Phil Foden to wrap up 3-0 victory, yet City’s dominance was far greater than the scoreline suggests.
It was an abrupt end to an unconvincing three-match winning run in all competitions for Erik ten Hag’s United, who have now lost five of their 10 opening Premier League games.

GOAL! Manchester United 0-3 Man City (FODEN 80’)
TOO EASY.
It’s what City deserve, and what United deserve too. Rodri’s shot is beaten out by Onana, it falls to Haaland and you think the hat-trick is about to follow.
But Haaland is unselfish and squares to Foden, who taps in City’s third of the night.
Game over, but it was over a long time ago, to be honest.
