He takes the ball: Haaland's hat-trick seals Manchester City's 5-1 victory over United in the derby.

Erling Haaland made his debut Manchester City vs. Manchester United with a hat-trick. After the opponent's reaction, the Norwegian forward appeared again to extend the lead to 5-1 in the match valid for the ninth matchday of the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium.

After coming back from halftime (4-0 due to Haaland's two goals and Phil Foden's two goals), the 'Red Devils' reacted in the early minutes of the second half. Thus, through an individual play, Brazilian Antony struck to score a goal and try to get his team back in the derby.

However, the illusion of Manchester United lasted a short time because Pep Guardiola's team regained dominance of the match. In fact, it took less than ten minutes for the 'Citizens' to celebrate again against their classic rival at home.

It all started with an advance by Kevin De Bruyne in the territory of the 'Red Devils'. The midfielder of the 'sky-blue' team played a one-two with Jack Grealish. Then, the attacker returned the favor to the opponent's defense by passing the ball to the Belgian. With better vision, the former Chelsea player played a cross pass with Sergio Gómez.

The full-back, who came on in the first half to replace the injured Kyle Walker, hammered the ball from close range past David De Gea. In that position, Haaland comfortably and without any blockades scored his third goal of the match and a total of 14 in the Premier League, twice as many as Harry Kane, who is second with seven.
