Manchester City Cruise in Derby, 3-0: Reaction & Media

Wait 5 sec.

What a win! Haaland and the lads were en fuego, scoring early and keeping the pressure high all match. Add some great play by local lad Phil Foden, starlet Jeremy Doku and more, the club really made a fun Sunday for all blues. A fantastic win that could highlight a change in the team as the focus was there as was the desire. Also, how did we miss Gvardiol, what a player as was Gigi Donnarumma, who played an elite match with many saves. On to the reaction-Pep Guardiola Reaction “We are in a situation with a start we didn’t expect and of course our opponents are so strong. We want to be close and still fighting for titles.“The spirit was great, our players have a lot of pride and they want to try to do better on a special day. We saw our fans so happy and that is our job, so, so privileged.“We have many things to improve. We are not yet a team but step by step. The victory helps us a lot. In the games we have had a lot of momentum and others not enough.“[Manchester United] have fantastic players and I know here we struggle against them, we have more better results at Old Trafford.”“Erling never disappoints us since he arrived,” said Guardiola.“Erling has the commitment, that is why he signed a contract for many years. He’s a special player.”“We missed him so much,” said Pep.“He moved behind the striker. He has the sense of the team and quality to keep the ball.“Most play the ball and say, ‘look how good the pass was’. He makes the pass and zoom!“We cannot forget two seasons ago when we won the last game against West Ham. He was the key player to win the Premier League.“Last season, for injuries and other reasons he could not be with us but hopefully step by step he can get back.“He is a Manchester City supporter, and he can do what he’s able to do. Joy and happiness on his face and we’re going to have the best Phil.”Notable Media What it means 🤩 pic.twitter.com/heazQPsN7q— Manchester City US (@ManCityUS) September 14, 2025🧘🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/Aliwg1nBEE— Erling Haaland (@ErlingHaaland) September 14, 2025Back to it!
