In an eventful derby, Manchester City came away with the three points from a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford with a 1-0 win over United, making it four wins in four Premier League matches and sitting atop the table alongside Arsenal.
The winning goal was scored by Erling Haaland, which, of course, sparked strong reactions in England, with England’s refereeing body citing it as a wrong call.
With that goal, the Norwegian forward has now scored eight goals against Manchester United, climbing to the top of the all-time scoring list in Manchester derbies, tying Agüero and Rooney, but in fewer games—a fact that gives him the edge in this… tie.
Eight goals in seven games for one of the world’s top scorers, who continues to break one record after another, leading City into the post-Pep era.
