Man City 6-3 Man United: Cristiano Ronaldo and Sir Alex Ferguson’s faces said it all | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sir Alex Ferguson’s faces said it all as they watched Manchester United suffer a humiliating 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both netted hat-tricks in the rout to embarrass Erik ten Hag’s side.

Antony and Anthony Martial (2) managed to get on the scoresheet for the visitors but it was still an afternoon that everyone associated with the Red Devils will be desperate to forget.

Man City produced a breathtaking first-half performance and went into half-time 4-0 up thanks to two goals apiece from Foden and the unstoppable Haaland.

Haaland scored his 15th and 16th goals of the campaign and provided the assist for Foden to notch City’s fourth.

Ten Hag’s shell-shocked men were dead and buried by half-time but managed to restore some pride early in the second half thanks to a wonderful left-footed strike from summer signing Antony.

However, Haaland went on to complete his hat-trick in the 64th minute of the match, steering Sergio Gomez’s cross past David de Gea in typically ruthless fashion.

The 22-year-old became the first player to score three consecutive home hat-tricks in the Premier League.

Foden then completed his own hat-trick before Martial netted two consolation goals for United.
