Haaland fires 10-man Man City to memorable win over Man Utd

Erling Haaland extended Manchester City's flawless start to manager Enzo Maresca's tenure with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Manchester United. Foden's red card on 23 minutes extended United's misery following his ill-disciplined challenge on Bruno Fernandes. A new Manchester City, bolstered by midfielders Anderson and Fernandez, proved too much for their opponents.

Haaland's winner, marred by controversy as Fernandez was not deemed to be interfering, left United eight points behind City and defending champions Arsenal. The pre-match atmosphere was charged by United fans' anger towards their club as much as their usual animosity towards City. A subdued display from United, lacking the composure and quality to capitalize on their man advantage, left City's dominance evident.
