Manchester City destroyed rival Manchester United 6-3 at the Etihad and moved to within a point of Premier League leader Arsenal. It was Haaland’s third hat trick of the season – and his third in successive home league games.
Ten Hag becomes the sixth United manager since Alex Ferguson’s retirement to lose his first derby – but had a heavier defeat than either David Moyes or Ralf Rangnick, who both lost by margins of 4-1. The Dutchman came into the game having been named manager of the month in the Premier League but any celebrations were short-lived after a traumatic afternoon for United in the highest-ever scoring meeting between these teams.
Follow City vs United Highlights from Etihad Stadium below.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and United manager Erik Ten Hag.
The late goals from Martial may have salvaged the scoreline. But it was a mauling from City, and United's lack of rhythm or energy, as well as individual mistakes, will be a cause for concern. Pep Guardiola's side asserted their dominance.
Haaland scored a hattrick and set up two for Foden who also scored three.
/p>
Martial goes down to an Akanji challenge in the box. Takes the penalty and puts it into the top right corner. City lead cut to 6-3.
Martial header gets on the back of a rebound from Ederson, saving a brilliant shot from Fred, to reduce the City's lead to 6-2.
The United captain's frustrations are evident as he picks up a yellow for being in the referee's ear. Not the first time today.
Terrible defending from United, standing still and playing Foden onside as Haaland slipped him in to score his third of the day.
City 6-1 up, making a five-man change now to give some players game time.
Perfectly positioned, Haaland taps in a Sergio Gomez cross to score his third hattrick for a third successive home game.
He's been THAT good today.
Casemiro on as United search for control in midfield.
The Red Devils winger took a great first touch from an exchange of play, and curled in a long-range drive into the bottom left corner.
That needs to wake United up, as City still lead 4-1.
The tempo has slowed down from the frenetic first half as United look for a way through to get on the scoreboard.
City, with Haaland, Foden, and De Buyne, look dangerous every time they are on the ball.
Ten Hag only makes one change, Luke Shaw for the booked Tyrell Malacia at left back. He has got Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.
United desperate for a response as the second half commences.
The Manchester United away section has emptied out, and it won't be full in the second half.
City were tantalising. Haaland's star continues to shine, and United's lack of control in midfield and no distinct game plan has cost them massively.
How will Ten Hag and United respond?
Haaland puts in a brilliant cross this time, and Foden puts it past De Gea to make it 4-0 before half time.
Unite capitulating, City ruthlessly brilliant.
An unbelievable bit of interplay between Haaland and De Bruyne.The latter put in a well-timed cross, and Haaland's finish, timing his slide to meet it, was executed just as perfectly as the pass. They look unplayable together...
Haaland heads his first derby goal!
The Norwegian latched onto a corner, after a cluster of City chances, and a break for Varane's injury.
He has scored his 12th Premier Leaue goal of the season, in eight games. City are now turning the knife.
Rashford has been asked to move to the left with Antony now playing centrally, presumably for a better press. But United's struggles, on and off the ball, persist.
Losing the ball too many times in midfield, United giving the ball to opposition wingers Grealish and Foden, who are having a field day with space and time in the opposition third. Both United full backs now booked.
City can be 3 or 4 up.
This time it's Foden who misses a vicious follow-up from the box. United haven't had a real kick in the first quarter of the game.
Brilliantly shaped free kick from the German. De Gea was standing still as Gundogan's curler hit the post.
Grealish's trickery causing a few problems here. Got Dalot booked early into the encounter, and now a dangerous free kick from Martinez.
City have blown through United in the opening 15 minutes.
The Red Devils' only phase of possession ends with Malacia kicking the ball out of play after City's press did massive damage. Guardiola's side look a class apart at the moment.
Phil Foden scores!
Bernardo Silva cutback as City chokes the opposition.
The goal was coming. United barely had a few kicks in the opening phases of the match. City overrunning them massively in midfield.
Double save, the first from a Haaland header, and the second form De Bruyne's follow up. United escape, just about.
Will United be able to stop the Manchester City juggernaut on their turf? In a euphoric atmosphere at the Eithad, over the next 90 minutes, we will find out.
Five minutes to kick off as massive bragging rights, and a hugely significant three points, are on the line as Tottenham and Liverpool faltered yesterday. Action coming up soon.
Manchester United summer signing Lisandro Martinez was criticised for his ability to adapt to English football, including criticism of the limitations of a perceived lack of height. He dealt with Haaland well .when their former teams met in the Champions League last year. Can he do it again?

Manchester United: De Gea, Dalot, Martinez, Varane, Malacia, Eriksen, McTominay, Fernandes (C), Sancho, Antony, Rashford
Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake will deputise in defence, and Rodri's unavailability means Gundogan will play the holding role in midfield.
For the sixth game in a row, Cristiano Ronaldo must accept his place on the bench. 80 million euro summer signing Antony starts, while Casemiro is on the bench again.

Kevin de Bruyne continues to be the benchmark for the ideal modern day midfielder. A professor of ball progressing, the Belgian adds that extra cherry on top of his play with his crossfield, grounded, diagonal balls.?
One of Manchester United’s revelations in pre-season was Anthony Martial playing as a shadow nine. Slipped between the two centre backs and directly on the defensive midfielder who can slot in between the two, Martial essentially forces teams to be a lot more wary when playing out the back.?
Christian Eriksen’s effectiveness and ability to progress the ball from deep in the midfield has led to Manchester United’s rich run of form. After missing out on Frenkie de Jong, a midfielder who is one of the top players in the world to carry the ball from deep within his own half to the opposition box, Eriksen was tasked with the role of the playmaker.?
The Manchester Derby pits David vs Goliath. It fashions Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest football managers to ever live, against Erik Ten Hag, months older than the Spaniard but younger, newer to the game.
