Thanks for your company and emails today. We’ll leave you with Jamie Jackson’s report from the Etihad. Goodnight!
Man City reaction
Phil Foden
We had extra motivation coming into the game – it was for [Ricky Hatton], his family and the people suffering right now. It wasn’t a pretty match but the way we ran… it was all for him and we’re delighted with the result.
[On his performance] There’s been a lot of talk, all of it quite negative, but that’s the world we live in. When you’ve been player of the season I understand that [expectations] are higher. It’s about reading the comments, trying to react as best I can and getting back to my level.
[On Haaland’s display] Yeah, it was a complete performance. He did everything – holding the ball up, defending, attacking, running in behind, doing the dirty work and pressing for the team.
Erling Haaland
We needed this. You always want to win the derby but you could feel a little extra [motivation] today. I’m so relieved, I’m so happy that we could do this together.
We have to keep going, and we have to keep this guy going [taps Foden] because we need him so much. We’ll help him as much as we can to make him as good as he was the season before last.
[Haaland receives his player of the match trophy] It could have gone to Donnarumma. He was unbelievable!
