Erling Haaland and Phil Foden troll Manchester United after emphatic Man City win

Phil Foden and Erling Haaland were quick to poke fun at rivals Manchester United after Manchester City were victorious in the derby on Sunday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side secured a 6-3 victory over United in the derby at the Etihad Stadium, with Haaland and Foden both scoring hat-tricks for the reigning Premier League champions.

Antony scored a stunning consolation goal for Erik ten Hag's men in the second period, before substitute Anthony Martial - who returned after being sidelined with an achilles injury - scored a brace towards the end of the clash.

City dominated proceedings, and will be frustrated with conceding three times. However, Guardiola's men were comfortable throughout the clash and closed the gap on league-leaders Arsenal to just one point.

Meanwhile, Norwegian striker Haaland stated: "Manchester is blue!"

Jack Grealish added: "Offfttt… What a day at the Etihad!! Manchester is BLUE".
