Manchester City ran riot at the Etihad on Sunday, sweeping aside rivals Manchester United 3-0 in a one-sided Manchester Derby, Footynaija.com reports.
Foden opened the scoring in the 18th minute, heading in Jérémy Doku’s cross to give City the early edge. Haaland then punished United twice in the second half, first converting after another Doku surge and later firing home following a costly turnover.
The victory gave City a perfect response after a shaky start to their season, while Ruben Amorim’s United were left with only four points from four league games.
