MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM.- The current champion of the United Kingdom, City, beat United with a spectacular double and assist from Erling Haaland in the Manchester derby with a score of 3-0 at the close of the 10th day of the Premier League .
The Norwegian star showed his superiority on the field and allowed the ‘Citizens’ to stay on the podium, reaching third place and tying with Arsenal, who is in second, who beat Sheffield United 5-0 yesterday.
Both are now behind Tottenham, which is the leader with 2 points more than them after beating Crystal Palace on Friday.
On the other hand, Manchester United is in eighth place and is gradually moving away from the teams at the top of the table.
The power of City
City did not wait long at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, which after a foul by Rasmus Hojlund on Rodri in the area, gave the Citizens the penalty that was converted into a goal by Haaland in the 26th minute.
André Onana tried hard to keep United’s goal well, but the Cameroonian goalkeeper couldn’t after being abandoned by his defender, who was then felled by a powerful header from Haaland in the last minute of the first half, which ended 2-0.
Haaland already had his day made with that tremendous double, but to close the scoring, he defined a magnificent assist for Phil Foden to make it 3-0 definitively in the 81st minute.
Haaland leads the Premier League scoring charts with 11 goals in ten games. It is worth mentioning that last season he was the tournament’s top scorer with 36 goals in 35 games.
With his eleven goals, Haaland surpasses the Egyptian Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) by three, who follows him very closely.
City will have a week to prepare for their next match against Bournemouth on Saturday, November 4, at 9:00 a.m. on Central American.
