Erling Haaland struck twice as Manchester City inflicted another damaging defeat on Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim with a comprehensive 3-0 win on Sunday.
Phil Foden opened the scoring before Haaland took centre stage with a second-half double, either side of an incredible miss from the Norwegian, as City bounced back from two consecutive Premier League defeats.
United responded with occasional counterthrusts but lacked a cutting final ball and were unable to test City’s goalkeeper consistently.

City turned the game decisively in the second half when Haaland, a constant menace throughout, converted twice to finish off United.
The Norway striker’s movement and clinical finishing underlined a return to the form that has made him one of Europe’s most feared forwards.
New signing Gianluigi Donnarumma kept a clean sheet on his City debut with a number of smart saves.
