Haaland fires 10-man Man City to memorable win over Man Utd
The 1-0 victory at Old Trafford extends a perfect start to Enzo Maresca's reign despite Phil Foden's first-half red card.
Manchester City's striker Erling Haaland scored a memorable 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite Phil Foden receiving a red card for kicking out at United captain Bruno Fernandes in the 23rd minute. The new-look City side, featuring the £250 million midfield pairing of Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez, were able to overcome the setback and secure a commanding lead.
Haaland's goal, though controversial as Fernandez was not deemed to be interfering with play, proved to be the decisive factor in the match. United's defeat compounds their miserable Premier League start, as they are now eight points behind City and defending champions Arsenal. Haaland praised the achievement, stating it was a "kind of new experience" to win with 10 men.
The win highlights the significant difference between City and their competitors, as both Arsenal and United now find themselves far behind in the title race.
