Manchester City hit arch-rivals Manchester United for six on Sunday afternoon, with the Blues blowing Erik ten Hag's side away in the Premier League. Hat-tricks from both Erling Haaland and Phil Foden helped the Blues on their way, with Anthony Martial (2) and Antony completing the scoring in a nine-goal thriller.
Eventually ending 6-3, City raced into a four goal lead before the break, before United put up something of a fight back to reduce the deficit. Pep Guardiola's side are currently second in the table being early pace setters Arsenal, with United slipping to 6th following the defeat.
Plenty of American media outlets covered the Manchester derby over the weekend. Here is a round-up of what they had to say:

''Ever since his arrival at Manchester City this summer, Erling Haaland has broken records at an astonishing rate.
''And the Norwegian phenom made even more history on Sunday when he became the first player to score a hat-trick in three consecutive English Premier League home matches as his side dismantled its crosstown rival Manchester United 6-3 to remain second in the league.
''After waiting 52 years for a player to score a hat-trick in the Manchester derby, City only had to wait six minutes for another as local hero Phil Foden completed his own in the 72nd minute, before United restored some respectability to the score line with two late goals.
''Haaland, who moved to City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has scored 17 goals in 10 games, making him Europe’s most lethal marksman, and he was brilliant against United, not only scoring three but also creating two goals.''
