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.

45+3 mins: SAVE! How has Haaland missed this! It’s another brilliant, cutting move from City as Bernardo gets to the byline. It’s dinked to the back post and Haaland looks like he has an open goal with the header. But Onana flies across his line and palms it wide! Haaland should have done better - he had the whole corner to aim for - but that’s a brilliant recovery from Onana and it keeps United in it.

44 mins: City will feel they have had enough of the possession to be more than one-up. Walker’s cut-back is cleared before it reaches Haaland.

42 mins: Oooh - there’s some heat in the derby at last after Amrabat goes down under Foden’s slight touch. Foden tells Amrabat to get up and the midfielder leaps to his feet to confront Foden, with Grealish and Fernandes then getting involved as well.
Foden and Amrabat are both booked.
