Yesterdays Manchester Derby match lived up to expectations as a classic, certainly one that will not be forgotten. Man Utd were left wondering what had happened while Man City showed us all what they are capable off.
With Roberto Mancini celebrating his 100th game in charge of Man City, he saw his team show Man Utd just how far they have come by showing the kind of display often associated with man Utd.
Alex Ferguson said, 'it was our worse day ever.' Utd went 0,1 down just a minute after the half time break, with Jonny Evans being sent off for pulling back Balotelli, this was the start of a one way tide of goals from Man City, with Balotelli scoring his second, the goals just kept on coming, Aguero scored the third then Man Utd got a goal back with Fletcher, that was it as City then scored a fourth with Edin Dzeko, a fifth with David Silva and Dzeko capped it all with a Sixth.
Certainly one for Utd to ponder on, but likely not for long, its early in the season yet and they will recover to fight another day.
City however will have enjoyed this one, now leading the premiership by 5 points but they will have to come down to earth fast, ready for the next match away to Wolves in the Carling Cup.
Another derby game was held in London at Loftus Road with QPR playing Chelsea, this certainly had all the hallmarks of a derby game with plenty of passion shown from both teams. But it just wasn't Chelsea's day with two red cards and seven yellow. This didn't stop them though, playing very well, often looking the better team, however with all the possession, they just couldn't get the ball in the net. QPR on the other hand scored from the penalty spot with Heider Helguson hitting the winner and only goal in the game.
