Manchester

A Derby Day to Remember

In what will go down as one of the most electrifying Manchester derbies in history, Manchester City delivered a footballing masterclass, dismantling Manchester United 6-3 at the Etihad. The match wasn’t just a victory—it was a statement. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both netted hat-tricks, showcasing City’s attacking brilliance while exposing United’s defensive frailties.

For Baji live readers seeking in-depth tactical breakdowns, this game was a goldmine. Let’s dive into the key moments, player performances, and what this means for both teams moving forward.

How City Dominated: Tactical Brilliance & Ruthless Execution

Foden’s Coming-of-Age Performance

At just 22, Phil Foden announced himself as a true derby hero. His first-ever hat-trick (8′, 44′, 72′) was a blend of intelligent movement, clinical finishing, and relentless energy.

  • First Goal: Capitalized on Christian Eriksen’s lapse in marking.
  • Second Goal: A poacher’s finish from Haaland’s pinpoint cross.
  • Third Goal: A composed strike after a devastating counter.

Foden now joins an elite list—becoming the youngest player under Pep Guardiola to reach 50 goals, surpassing even Lionel Messi’s record.

Haaland’s Treble of Trebles

If Foden was brilliant, Haaland was simply unstoppable. The Norwegian sensation (34′, 37′, 64′) continued his insane scoring streak:

  • 14 Premier League goals in just 8 games—a record-breaking pace.
  • Perfect link-up with Kevin De Bruyne, whose vision and assists (now 8 this season) were instrumental.
  • Aerial dominance, exemplified by his towering header for City’s third.

United’s Defensive Collapse

While City dazzled, United’s backline crumbled:

  • David de Gea (3/10): Looked shaky, conceding six for the first time in his career.
  • Lisandro Martinez (3/10): Outmuscled and outpaced by Haaland.
  • Bruno Fernandes (4/10): Anonymous in midfield, failing to inspire.

“I can’t believe how bad Man Utd have been. They bottled it.”
