Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez were the stars as each scored a brace in Manchester City’s 4-1 thrashing of city rivals Manchester United at the Etihad stadium Sunday evening.
The game which was the 187th Manchester derby started in frenetic fashion but ended with the Premier League champions in cruise control as Pep Guardiola’s leaders restored their six-point advantage over Liverpool at the top of the standings.
Man of the Match De Bruyne’s early opener was superbly cancelled out by City’s academy product Jadon Sancho, only for the Belgium star to strike his second and Mahrez to grab a second-half brace in a deserved win against Ralf Rangnick’s wretched Red Devils.
Sunday’s defeat was a chastening one for United whose tip four finish was further compounded by Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat of Watford earlier.
The City win represents the second time the hosts did the double over United since Guardiola took over and represented a second league loss under Rangnick, who was without Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw.
