Overview
- Erling Haaland scored twice after Phil Foden’s first‑half header as Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at the Etihad.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma made his Premier League debut for City and produced a standout save to deny Bryan Mbeumo.
- The result stops City’s run of two league defeats and moves them above United in the table, with United on four points from four games.
- Haaland had publicly called City’s early-season form “not good enough” and urged senior players to help integrate new signings before delivering in the derby.
- Pep Guardiola’s selection was shaped by injuries to Omar Marmoush, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and a doubt over John Stones, underscoring the ongoing squad transition.
