Getty Images SportDzeko: The forgotten assassin of the Etihad
The 6-1 thrashing at Old Trafford is remembered for Mario Balotelli’s iconic “Why Always Me?” celebration. But Rooney reminded fans that Dzeko also played a pivotal role in City’s dominance during that period.
“No, City then had a good team. Dzeko doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Silva and Balotelli were there as well. They had a good team, Toure, Kompany, Hart in goal,” Rooney said.
Six Manchester derby appearances brought him four goals and an assist, a ruthless record that made him a constant thorn in United’s side.
AFPHaaland challenged to follow in Dzeko’s footsteps
Fast forward to today, and City have another powerhouse leading the line: Erling Haaland. As Pep Guardiola prepares his side for another fierce showdown with United at the Etihad, he’ll be hoping his Norwegian talisman can emulate Dzeko’s knack for hurting their neighbours.
