Update:

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored hat-tricks to fire champions Manchester City to a rampant 6-3 thrashing of local rivals Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

City put United to the sword in a ruthless display of attacking football in the first half at the Etihad Stadium, as the visitors, who had won their last four leagues games, were blown away by the champions.

The defeat for Ten Hag’s men ended United’s four-match winning streak in the league with the Old Trafford side back in action today for the first time since beating Arsenal on 4 September and face a manic schedule of nine matches in October.
