Erling Braut Haaland made history in the Manchester Derby by leading ten-man Manchester City to an away victory over Manchester United last night.
On 14 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Norwegian striker Erling Braut Haaland made history in the Manchester Derby after leading his club, under Italian manager Enzo Maresca, to a 1-0 away win against the "Red Devils" Manchester United, managed by English coach Michael Carrick, in the latest league match last night.
Looking back at the match, there were two key turning points. The first occurred when Phil Foden was shown a red card in the 23rd minute for a foul on Bruno Fernandes, the home team's captain and midfielder. Despite being a man down, the visitors scored the winning goal at the 60th minute through Erling Haaland, initially flagged for offside but ultimately awarded.
With this goal, Erling Haaland reached 9 goals in 8 Manchester Derby matches, becoming the top scorer in this local rivalry. He surpassed Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero, who each have 8 goals, followed by Eric Cantona and Phil Foden with 7 goals, and Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, and Paul Scholes with 5 goals each.
