Erling Haaland heaps praise on Man City ‘monster’ after dramatic derby win

  • Manchester City secured a dramatic derby victory over Manchester United after goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a crucial stoppage-time save to deny Bryan Mbeumo.
  • Erling Haaland praised Donnarumma as “a monster” following his 95th-minute heroics, which preserved a hard-fought win for City.
  • City played for over an hour with ten men after Phil Foden was shown a controversial red card in the 23rd minute following an incident with United captain Bruno Fernandes.
  • Haaland scored the winning goal in the 60th minute, taking his tally to nine Premier League Manchester derby goals and surpassing the records held by Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney.
  • The decisive strike was allowed to stand after a lengthy VAR check despite Enzo Fernandez being in an offside position, a decision refereeing body Pro Ref later conceded was an “error of judgement”.
