<\/p>\nERLING HAALAND'S celebration of Manchester City's third goal has left fans online declaring the Manchester rivalry to be "dead".<\/p>\n
Haaland scored the opening two for City and put a third on a plate for Foden as City cruised to a 3-0 derby day victory.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
After putting the ball on a plate for Foden, he gestured as if to give the floor to him for his celebration.<\/p>\n
The gesture sparked one fan on Twitter to say: "You know the rivalry is dead when Man City are taking turns to do a celebration."<\/p>\n
It sparked another fan to say that Haaland and Foden are the "owners of Manchester United."<\/p>\n
A third said: "Erling Haaland is showing United fans the exit."<\/p>\n
While a fourth wrote "Theatre of dreams they say" next to a photo of Manchester United Antony looking angry.<\/p>\n Haaland, who celebrated wildly after his two goals, said after the game that he had drawn on the taunts he received from Manchester United fans as motivation.<\/p>\n Parts of the United crowd chanted "Keano" – reminding Haaland of the injury Roy Keane had caused to his father, Alfe-Inge, in 2001.<\/p>\n Keane raked his studs down Haaland's knee and essentially ended Alfe-Inge's career.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n The Norwegian would only make four substitute appearances the season after the injury and retired aged 30.<\/p>\n Haaland Jr said after the game: "There were so many people singing \u2018Keano\u2019, I don\u2019t know why, but I used it as motivation and gave them a good celebration."<\/p>\n Asked if it was City\u2019s best performance of the season so far, Haaland said: \u201cI think so \u2014 in terms of controlling the game and playing the football we wanted to play.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a fantastic performance, a controlled 90-minute game and every single City player had a fantastic performance.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was not easy but the way we kept going in the game was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n Haaland took his tally to 11 Premier League goals this season \u2014 as many as United\u2019s whole squad put together.<\/p>\n Asked if beating City\u2019s\u00a0Manchester rivals makes this victory extra special, he added: \u201cOf course. In the big picture it is three points.<\/p>\n \u201cYou need consistency throughout the season in the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are still 84 points so it\u2019s just about getting three points week in, week out.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/RAS-OFF-PLATFORM-GRAHAM-POTTER.jpg\")
