Premier League: Haaland dominates derby for City

 Manchester City 6 - 3 Manchester United

A disaster of a Manchester derby for Manchester United 

Nine goals in the game, but unfortunately for Manchester United, two-thirds of them go to City. It's ultimately a Manchester derby that the red side of the city, will want to forget. They''ll move quickly on to their next test, which sees them travel to Cyprus to face Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

United had conceded four goals by half-time.The Reds did respond in the second period with a strike from Antony and a double for Anthony Martial, but the damage was done by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden's hat-tricks.

Reaction from the red side

Bruno Fernandes told the Manchester United website: "I think the second half was much better. We kept control more, we controlled the game whenever we had the ball. We were down on the result, so we had to take some risks.  And obviously, when we took that risk, we scored straight away. We tried to [go forward] a little bit more but then we conceded more goals. You can't give that much space to City."

"Obviously, we are really disappointed. But now it is time to focus on the next game and we have to get back the performances we did before [the international break], and the belief and togetherness, and understand this cannot get us down. We need to improve for the future."

Many United fans were long gone by the end of the match. 

Reaction from the blue side

This tweet probably sums everything up. 

The Norwegian striker looks almost unplayable at the moment. How can he be stopped?
