Ronaldo In Disbelief As Haaland, Foden Hit Hat-Tricks, Crush Man United

Cristiano Ronaldo was found covering his face in disbelief and shame with Erling Haaland’s first-half performance against Manchester United in the first Manchester derby of the season on Sunday.

Infoexpert24 reports that Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both grab hat-tricks as Manchester City Crush Manchester United 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium.

It was the Manchester derby that many had been waiting for, but City made it look easy, winning the battle in a nine-goal thriller.

Folden opened the scoring in eight minutes into the game, scoring after he was fed the ball by Bernardo Silva. He was unmarked and he buried the ball in the top of the net.

Haaland scored the second goal for City in the 34th minute after a corner from Kevin De Bruyne went into a dangerous area, finding him. He outjumped the defence and glanced a header into the back of the net.

There were no derby day nerves from the Man City striker as he fired in two goals, and added an assist, in a devastating first 45 minutes.

City went in 4-0 at the break, and it could have been much more. After Phil Foden had scored the opener, Haaland powered home a header after leaping a good foot above the United defence.

Things quickly went from bad to worse for United. De Bruyne scooped a lovely curling cross that put Varane behind Haaland to direct home in the 38th minute.

Pep Guardiola’s men then went 4-0 up in the 44th minute as De Bruyne burst forward and played wide to Haaland, whose low cross was turned in at the far post by Foden.

Moments later the television cameras cut to Cristiano Ronaldo who had his head in his hands… and who could blame him.

Meanwhile, some Man United supporters opted to leave before the game even reached the break and things got worse.

Haaland then went on to add another in the second half for his hat-trick, a record-breaking three in three straight Premier League home games.

At one stage, City was 6-1 up after Foden joined him in scoring a hat-trick. United got two late consolations to make it 6-3, a scoreline that flattered Erik ten Hag’s side if anything.
