Getty/GOALAntoine Semenyo effectively killed the game off early in the second half before Haaland struck again to secure his 12th treble for City. A great day for the hosts got even better when James Trafford saved Mohamed Salah's penalty, giving the Egyptian a terrible send off in a fixture in which he has starred on so many occasions.
GOAL rates Man City's players from the Etihad Stadium...
AFPJames Trafford (8/10):
Didn't have to make a save in the first half but stayed alert to deny Salah early in the second half before keeping the Egyptian's penalty out.
Matheus Nunes (6/10):
Started the move leading to the sumptuous second goal. Gave away the penalty by tripping Ekitike but it mattered not.
Abdukodir Khusanov (8/10):
Showed again why he is City fans' new cult hero with a lightning-quick sprint to chase down and harass Salah.
Marc Guehi (6/10):
Made a shaky start against the team he almost joined when his clearance went straight to Szoboszlai, but from then on it was plain sailing.
Nico O'Reilly (7/10):
Won the penalty which got the ball rolling and played a part in Semenyo's goal before assisting Haaland's third. Made the difference for the second game running.
Getty Images SportBernardo Silva (7/10):
Responsible for some beautiful passes in the latest masterclass of his farewell tour.
Rodri (6/10):
Not the best performance from a player whose radio interview in Spain last week rubbed some City fans up the wrong way. His touch was poor and he gifted Ekitike a chance which the Frenchman wasted.
Rayan Cherki (8/10):
At his menacing best. Brushed off a horrible touch early on to weave his usual magic, dovetailing to devastating effect with Semenyo.
Getty Images SportAntoine Semenyo (8/10):
Played a delicious cross for Haaland to head home while his own cheeky finish highlighted his soaring confidence and how well he has settled into the City team.
Erling Haaland (9/10):
His effortless penalty was his first whiff of danger, but it turned out he was just biding his time as from then on he was at his ruthless best.
Jeremy Doku (6/10):
The weaker link of City's incredible attack as nothing really went his way and most of the damage was done on the opposite flank.

Getty Images SportSavinho (5/10):
Replaced Doku but didn't do much as the game was already done and dusted.
Nico Gonzalez (6/10):
A slight improvement on Rodri's performance as City comfortably saw out the last half an hour. Joined his compatriot in the book for a tactical foul.
Tijjani Reijnders (6/10):
Lost a race with Konate after a pass from Haaland.
Phil Foden (6/10):
Didn't do much after replacing Cherki.
Omar Marmoush (6/10):
A late replacement for Haaland so the Norwegian could get a standing ovation.
Pep Guardiola (9/10):
Watched from the stands as his side produced an irresistible performance against their greatest domestic rivals of the last decade and still managed to give his key players some rest at the end.
