At halftime of their Premier League match, Manchester City had a commanding 4-0 lead over Manchester United. The home team, who played superb football throughout, are now in perfect control and on track to defeat their rivals for the third time in a row thanks to two goals each from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland....CONTINUE READING
United was behind right away and needed to put forth a tremendous effort in the second half to save a humiliating outcome.
3 of Man United’s worst players in the first half.
1.Dalot
Dalot put Man United players under unnecessary pressure when he fouled Grealish on the byline to collect the first yellow card of the game. After the foul, a couple of shots were blocked by De Gea and McTominay, but City wouldn’t be denied a goal with Bernardo Silva’s cross finding Foden to poke in. The cross came from Dalot’s area.
2.Eriksen
Eriksen was poor on the ball with so many misplaced passes as opposed to his last 4 games for Man United. He was unable to link the defense to the attack. Too poor for a player that just won the player of the month award for Manchester United
3.Antony
Looking at Anthony, he didn’t do much to help Dalot. Dalot was under constant pressure and didn’t play well on attack either. He was supposed to dead the ball and await support, but failed in both areas.
Manchester United fans are already leaving the Etihad. The first half ends 4-0 in favor of Man City.
