In the 10th Premier League derby, Manchester City overwhelmed Manchester United 3-0, demonstrating overwhelming superiority.
Growing rhythms of the Citizens
After a positive start by the Red Devils with Rashford in the spotlight, Manchester City, led by Guardiola, upped the tempo of the game.
Andre Onana and Maguire initially prevented a goal in the 8th minute with double saves, but then Erling Haaland burst onto the scene on the quarter-hour mark.
Haaland scored a penalty after a lengthy VAR review due to a push by Højlund on Rodri. This gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead.

Despite Onana preventing a Haaland hat-trick, Manchester City scored the third goal in the 79th minute. Foden scored from close range after a deflected shot from Rodri, bringing the final score to 3-0.
