Manchester City's youngsters replicated one of their club's most historic results earlier in the season when they beat Manchester United 6-1 on their own turf.
They were at it again on Sunday, copying the first team's ruthless hunger for goals in the last week as they put another six past United in a derby demolition.
Erling Haaland's eight goals in two games are grabbing the headlines for City at senior level, as City scored seven against RB Leipzig and six against Burnley.
The under-21s were in a similar mood as they copied the senior team's thirst for goals at the Academy Stadium. United were in such a mess, they had to bring on 36-year-old coach Tom Huddlestone to shore up a defence that had already conceded three and had seen Sonny Aljofree sent off with only 25 minutes on the clock.
