Manchester City secured a convincing victory over Manchester United, with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, and Phil Foden. The game highlighted the vast difference in quality between the two teams, with City in complete control throughout. United's new signing, Amrabat, struggled to find his form and was left dumbfounded by a skillful move from Grealish.
Phil Foden subsequently added a third in the 79th minute, tapping in Haaland’s cross to put United to the sword.
Indeed, other than a spell early in the first half City were in complete control of the game, which served as another reminder of the stark difference in quality between the two sides.The game was encapsulated by a moment in the first half when Grealish shrugged off Amrabat’s challenge without even touching the ball.
The Morocco international has struggled to find his best form in midfield, having also operated in an unfamiliar left-back position at times for Ten Hag.earlier this month, having endured a torrid time against the wily Jordan Ayew.AdvertSutton said after the match:"He’s not looked comfortable in that left back position today, like a fish out of water.”
