Haaland, the King of Manchester

Monstrous, phenomenal, monumental words fail to describe Erling Haaland's start to the season at Manchester City.

With this new hat-trick, in the victory against Manchester United (6-3) in this crazy derby, he becomes the first player in the history of the Premier League to score three times consecutively at home.

The former Dortmund player flies over the scoring charts with 14 goals.

There is no doubt that the little Martinez and his seventy-five meter will long remember the duels disputed with this giant of almost two meters.

Phil Foden, Knight of the Crown

An excellent match from the English international (18 caps) who scored the first hat-trick of his career.

Quite a symbol for this kid born in Manchester.

Against United, number 47 hurt the defenders very badly.

First to Malacia who is sanctioned with a yellow in the first period, then to Shaw who replaces the Dutchman at the break.

He could even have stolen the show from Haaland with a quadruple if his strike in the 21st was on target.

Kevin De Bruyne, servant of the king

He did not score but still splashed the match with all his class.

A twice passer for Erling Haaland in the first period, the Belgian invented a gesture of which only he has the secret when serving City number 9.

His assist for Haaland's second goal is absolutely sumptuous and shows what a world-class player the Belgium international is.

FLOPS

Marcus Rashford, the invisible man

Very disappointing match from the best player of the month for September who has been in good shape for the past few weeks with United.

The 24-year-old striker only touched 12 small balls and didn't shoot once.

However, there was reason to be optimistic about him since City had to compose without Stones and Rodri.

Replaced in the 59th by Martial (author of a double), number 10 completely missed his derby and could lose his place if his poor performance continues.

Diogo Dalot, City's first victim

It was he who allowed Manchester City to open the scoring.

Warned from the 2nd minute, the Portuguese defender had a lot of trouble against Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish who feasted on the side occupied by the former FC Porto.

Often exceeded, he won only one of his 5 duels of the day and brought absolutely nothing offensively.

Bruno Fernandes in the tornado

Like all the rest of his team, Bruno Fernandes was in big trouble this afternoon.

Positioned in the heart of the game between Gündogan and Bernardo Silva, the captain of the Red Devils saw all the colors and was unable to calm his team when it took on water.

The midfielder only won 3 of his 8 duels on the day and missed all of his crosses.

Symbol of his bad match: his yellow card received in the 80th for a gross foul followed by a more than avoidable dispute.
