Erling Haaland scored two goals to lead Manchester City to a 3-0 victory against their hosts, Manchester United, in a heated clash in the Premier League on Sunday. Coach Pep Guardiola's team, who won a treble of titles last season, currently sits in third place with 24 points after ten matches, just two points behind leaders Tottenham. After suffering their first loss in the last four matches across all competitions, United remains at 15 points in eighth place.
Haaland opened the scoring with a penalty in the 26th minute after VAR showed Rasmus Hojlund committed a foul against Rodri. Calmly, the Norwegian placed the ball in the net. City dominated the proceedings in the second half, and Haaland scored his second shortly after the break, taking advantage of a cross from Bernardo Silva that he headed into the goal, marking his 11th league goal this season, equal to United's total goals.
Phil Foden scored the third goal from close range in the 80th minute when goalkeeper Andre Onana saved a shot from Rodri, directing the ball towards Haaland, who played a low cross to Foden, who then found the net, leading many United fans to leave the stadium early.
