WHAT HAPPENED?
Pep Guardiola’s side hammered United 3-0 in their own backyard last month, before City’s women’s team eased to a 3-1 win against their local WSL rivals less than a month later. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden were among the goals for the men, while Lauren Hemp and Khadija Shaw hit the target for Gareth Taylor’s side. All four players celebrated their goals with knee slides on the Old Trafford turf, and City’s social media team couldn’t resist making a compilation.
