Man City power rankings after Erling Haaland leads derby day demolition of Manchester United

Though they may not top the table, Pep Guardiola and his Man City side will be happy that they were able to add another win under their belt against their rivals Manchester United on Sunday. In front of a home crowd, they were 6-3 victors thanks to two hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

In doing so, Haaland and Foden became only the third pairing in Premier League history to both score hattricks in the same match. The derby also included strong performances from Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake at the back and Kevin de Bruyne, who got a hat-trick of assists.

And based on their early form this season, it seems like the money spent on Haaland was money well spent, but the rest of the team has been firing on all cylinders too.

4. Phil Foden

With five goals and two assists so far, Foden has formed a formidable partnership with Haaland; as was shown in the Manchester Derby. The English midfielder/winger has continued to build on the form that first caught the eye of Guardiola
