Rare penalty 🙌

We were awarded a penalty in a Premier League match against Manchester United for only the second time (53rd game), while it was their first awarded in a fixture in the competition at Old Trafford (27th such game).

Mind the gap

Manchester United were beaten by 3+ goals in a Premier League home game against Manchester City for the third time (6-1 in 2011, 3-0 in 2014 and 3-0 in 2023), their joint-most defeats by such a margin against a single opponent, along with three versus Liverpool.

Haaland's thoughts 💭

On the game: Amazing. Fantastic win. The game was incredible today, the whole team and everything, especially this guy, impressive today.

On assist rather than shooting: I saw Phil was alone, so it was simple as that.

On first goal: I felt it a little bit the penalty. A lot of people were singing to me Keano. I scored and it was a fantastic feeling. It was a nice celebration, for both of them. It was a nice game.

On second goal: It was an incredible save right before the half time. He did another fantastic save in the second half. It is what it is. We won. I don’t care.

Bernardo's reaction 💬

It was a good game for us today. We didn’t give them much and the way we controlled the game. The first 30 minutes of the second half. What we lacked against Arsenal in the pressing we had it today. Congratulations to the big man.

When we come to these types of places, Anfield, Old Trafford, we know what teams are waiting for. For us to lose the ball and counter. We need to control the ball and possession in our half of the pitch and when we break through, be quick and attack, So happy with the performance. It’s never easy to come here and beat this team.
