Before Sunday's Manchester derby everybody was asking whether Manchester United would be able to stop not just Manchester City, but more specifically Erling Haaland.
The answer turned out to be a resounding no. Haaland scored a hat-trick and set up two more goals as City romped to a 6-3 victory against their cross-city rivals. The 22-year-old striker ended up sharing the match ball and the Player of the Match award as local lad Phil Foden scored a brilliant hat-trick of his own.
The win emphatically underlined just how dangerous this City team is with a striker like Haaland leading the attack, and begs the question of whether anyone will be able to stop him.
