Manchester City produced a brilliant display to dominate Manchester United and set new records against their derby opponents
In a fiercely contested Manchester derby, Manchester City emerged triumphant over their arch-rivals Manchester United, recovering from an early set back from Marcus Rashford to seal a convincing 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
The Cityzens produced a compelling display of footballing excellence, rewriting the record books in the process. Here are five remarkable records and milestones from the pulsating encounter:
Erling Haaland: The Derby Specialist
Erling Haaland's dominance against Manchester United reached unprecedented heights as he became the most prolific Manchester City player against their cross-town rivals in Premier League history.
With six goals and three assists in just four games, Haaland has firmly established himself as a nightmare for the Red Devils' defense.The Norwegian is now behind only Eric Cantona (10) and Ryan Giggs (13) for goal involvements in the Manchester derby.
Invincible Rodri
Manchester City midfielder Rodri etched his name into the annals of Premier League history with an astonishing record of being unbeaten in his last 59 games in all competitions.
This remarkable feat cements Rodri's status as a linchpin for the Cityzens and solidifies his reputation as one of the best players on the planet and the most important player for Manchester City.
Manchester United Lose Incredible Record
Manchester United's defeat marked the end of an era as they succumbed to their first Premier League loss after leading at halftime since September 2014.
This defeat shattered their astonishing run of 143 unbeaten games when ahead at the break in the competition which stood at 123 wins and 20 draws before the game against Manchester City, highlighting the magnitude of the Cityzens’ comeback.
Haaland and Foden: Devils' Tormentors
Phil Foden and Erling Haaland inflicted misery upon Manchester United's defense, continuing their reign as the Red Devils' tormentors.
Since the start of last season, Foden and Haaland have scored six goals each against Manchester United, showcasing their prowess on the grandest stage.
Manchester City Dominance
Manchester City unleashed an offensive onslaught against Manchester United, firing an astonishing 18 shots in the first half alone.
This relentless attacking display mirrored the joint-most shots faced by Manchester United in the first half of a Premier League game since Opta began recording data in 2003-04, underscoring City's dominance.
Manchester City's resounding victory over Manchester United not only affirmed their supremacy in the Manchester derby but also established new benchmarks and milestones in Premier League history. As City savors their triumph, United faces the daunting task of regrouping and reasserting their credentials in the fiercely competitive league.
