Manchester United vs Manchester City Highlights, Premier League 2023: Haaland double and Foden takes MCI to 3-0 win

A late freekick for City from the edge of the box. A chance to add a fourth. The ball doesn’t cross the wall though and that brings the match to a close. FULL TIME!! MUN 0 - 3 MCI

Antony is shown a yellow for a foul on Doku. Some afters as well with Antony shoving the Belgian’s hand away. Unnecessary from the United winger.

4 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the match.

Garnacho finds some space down the left wing but Walker has enough pace to track back and get the ball away for a corner. The corner is easily dealt with by the City defence.

United pushing people forward now. Maguire has vacated his centre back spot to find place in the opposite box.

Antony and Martial come in for Eriksen and Rashford.

Doku and Kovacic come in for City instead of Alvarez and Grealish.

A bicycle kick attempted by the goalscorer Foden. Wasn’t very far from the right hand post. Grealish’s cross in deflected off the defender and into Foden’s path before he unleashed the shot.

Goal!! Rodri’s shot from the edge of the box was parried away by Onana. Haaland was waiting at the far post and he crosses the ball in to the box where Foden bundles it in to make it three.

Better possession from United over the last five minutes but no real chance created. Gaps opening up between the midfield and defence and Foden and Alvarez are looking to exploit them.

Garnacho and Reguilon are substituted in by United with Hojlund and Lindelof making way.

Onana saves to prevent a Haaland hat-trick. Foden played him through between Evans and Maguire but Onana was alert to the danger, making himself big and blocking Haaland’s shot.

Chance!!! Eriksen finds Rashford in behind the defence with an excellent pass. Rashford takes it down brilliantly and is forced to cut back and shoot, misses the target by a whisker. United’s best chance since the second goal.

Corner for United after Eriksen’s cross from the right is deflected behind. United finding some space in midfield to create a few attacking plays.

City with more intricate play at the middle of the pitch. Alvarez finds space just outside the box to let out a shot but it is way too high and keeps rising.

Grealish cuts in from the left after Stones finds him. He fires a shot in to the far post and Onana has to dive full stretch to keep it out.

More space for Grealish down the left again. His low shot goes just past the far post and out for a goal kick.

A bad early goal to concede for United in the second half. No real threat from the team so far in the half.

Grealish and Bernardo getting a lot of space in the left wing for City. Another cross in but Onana cuts the cross out this time.

Goal!! City with a quick counter after United’s possession. Grealish plays the ball to the overlapping Bernardo Silva whose cross in is met by Haaland who was free at the far post. Poor defending from United!

Mason Mount comes in for Man United. Amrabat is the one taken off.

Onana with a blinder!! Cross in from the left by Silva found Haaland in acres of space at the back post and his header is kept out by a stunning Onana save. City so so close to extending its lead. HALFTIME!!

McTominay almost finds the equaliser!!! Rashford’s early ball in fell right to the Scottish midfielder whose shot is saved by Ederson. First big chance for United and the first save Ederson has had to make.

4 minutes of stoppage time.

Walker finds space in the right side end of the box and looks to cut it back to Haaland. Evans was aware of the danger and puts a foot in to clear.

Foden and Amrabat involved in a tussle at the centre of the field. Looks like Foden refused to hand the ball back after conceding a foul. Both players shown a yellow.

Grealish cuts in from the left and looks to get a shot away but Amrabat makes the block and City get another corner. Decent corner to the centre of the six yard box, but is cleared out by Maguire.

Evans with a foul at the edge of the box and City get a freekick. Alvarez takes it and forces a save off Onana at the near post.

Another close shave for United! The ball in was awkwardly headed by Maguire and almost fell into the path of the City attackers. he recovers just in time to clear the ball away.

City controlling possession better after a few nervy moments after the opening goal. United don’t have a good record this season after conceding first and it will be hoping for a change in luck in that regard today.

United with a chance for an equaliser after Hojlund found space in behind the City defence. Couldn’t get the shot away and was forced wide. Tries to tee up Bruno but his shot was off target.

Goal!! Haaland sends Onana the wrong way and opens the scoring for Man City at Old Trafford. Very avoidable goal to concede for Man United. Onana booked for time wasting during the penalty as well.

Referee gives a penalty after a VAR check. Hojlund was pulling Rodri back during the freekick earlier. Contentious decision but the referee points to the spot.

City win a freekick at the centre of the field. The cross is is dealt with by the defence. The referee stops play following a VAR check.

Grealish goes for a curler from the edge of the box after a short corner. Onana dives full length to turn it away for a corner. 2-3 City players were lurking at the far post. Onana did well to not push it into their path.

Silva and Grealish with some good passing play at the left flank. Silva crosses it in fron near the touchline but Maguire clears it away at the near post.

United lose possesion at the centre of the field with Lindelof guilty of losing possession. Foden tries an early through ball to Haaland but Onana comes off his line to clear.

Grealish gives the ball away to Hojlund who has a chance to counter again. Passes it wide to Eriksen and Bruno but the City defence recover to clear the danger.

Hojlund steals the ball at the centre of the pitch and begins the counter. Dalot and Rashford provides him support but the pass is cut out by the defence.

Onana but under a bit of pressue by the pressing City forwards, but he exchanges passes with Lindelof and manages to clear his lines and avert the danger.

Save from Onana!! Gvardiol’s cross is headed back in by Walker who finds Foden. Foden’s header was saved well by Onana and Haaland couldn’t bundle it in from 2 yards out. First real chance of the game.

City with better control of posession after the early wave of United attacks. Rashford finds Lindelof on the left wing but he is flagged offside.

Man United with the first attack of the game. Rashford with space down the left but he is forced to cut inside and the attack loses steam.

United gets things underway at Old Trafford. United wearing its traditional red home kit while City is sporting its blue home kit as well.

The players make their way out of the famed Old Trafford Tunnel. City will look to reduce the gap to Tottenham at the top of the table. United on the other hand will need a good result to climb back up the table after an indifferent start to the season.

A one-minute applause rings around the stadium in remembrance of Sir Bobby Charlton.

MUN 2 - 1 MCI

Jack Grealish makes his 100th Manchester City appearance today.

“We are back where we wanted to be. This is a hard team to beat, they find a way to win. So we’re going in the right direction,” Ten Hag told reporters.

“We have a way to go, I see positives and I also see negatives. We are not consistently in positions at the level we can be where we show in games.... We don’t take benefit in the attacking transition moments.”

“At the moment, (we are) six points back (from City) so we have to catch up. We know we have to progress the team, to make developments. It has to do with the cooperation, the movement around it, we have to work on that,” Ten Hag said.

“When I was in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and I travelled to England to play United at Old Trafford, it was always special, special scenarios, special place, and of course it is special for our fans,” Guardiola told reporters on Friday.

“We have won a lot, it is not about whether we win, what is going to happen? I want to see my team prove they have the right mentality you need to win these games,” he said.

Matches played: 46

Manchester United: 20 wins

Manchester City: 18 wins

Draws: 8

Manchester United’s season has spluttered into second gear with a run of three successive victories, but the sceptics are not convinced, and Erik Ten Hag’s side faces the ultimate test of their credentials at home to Manchester City this weekend.

Dutchman Ten Hag was staring into the abyss when his side trailed Brentford 1-0 with stoppage time looming earlier this month but two late goals spared his blushes.

Another not-too-convincing victory at bottom club Sheffield United last weekend was admirable in its own way following the news of club great Bobby Charlton’s death before kickoff.

Again in midweek, United was unimpressive as they beat FC Copenhagen 1-0 at Old Trafford to kickstart its Champions League campaign - Harry Maguire’s goal and a stoppage time penalty save by Andre Onana getting them out of trouble.

Wins are wins, however, and the mood will be a little more buoyant as it prepares to host Pep Guardiola’s City, who themselves are back in the groove after a slight blip.
