The Manchester Derby never disappoints, and this time it was Erling Haaland who stole the show. The Norwegian forward\u2019s second-half brace guided Manchester City<\/strong> to a resounding 3-0 Premier League victory over Manchester United<\/strong>, sealing Pep Guardiola\u2019s first 90-minute win in five head-to-head clashes across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Half: Doku and Foden Set the Tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The match began with both sides showing attacking intent. Haaland nearly opened the scoring early, while Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko tested Donnarumma on the other end. City\u2019s breakthrough came in the 18th minute when J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku<\/strong>, dazzling as ever, skipped past defenders and crossed for Phil Foden<\/strong> to head home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Foden, this was his seventh career goal against Manchester United<\/strong>, making the Red Devils his second-favorite victims after Brighton. United tried to respond through long balls behind City\u2019s defense, but Bruno Fernandes\u2019 audacious free-kick was comfortably handled before halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half: Haaland Takes Over<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the break, United looked determined, but City\u2019s backline, led by Haaland himself, clearing crosses, stood firm. Moments later, in true predator fashion, Haaland bullied Luke Shaw off the ball and chipped calmly over goalkeeper Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r after a perfectly timed pass from Doku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norwegian wasn\u2019t done. After striking the post and seeing Donnarumma deny Mbeumo at the other end, Haaland punished sloppy defending to latch onto Bernardo Silva\u2019s assist and slot home City\u2019s third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City\u2019s confidence soared, and although Tijjani Reijnders failed to convert from Haaland\u2019s clever setup, the result was never in doubt. The Citizens celebrated a dominant win, bouncing back after back-to-back defeats, while United\u2019s misery deepened with only one win from their last five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
