Erling Haaland’s second in the derby win over Manchester United has won the Nissan Goal of the Month for October.

The decisive header at Old Trafford, beautifully set up by Bernardo Silva after fine build-up play involving Jack Grealish, emerged victorious in the poll on mancity.com and the official app.

It defeated impressive opposition from Chloe Kelly (v Chelsea and v Leicester), Khadija Shaw (v Everton), Julian Alvarez (v Brighton) and another effort from Haaland (v Brighton).

Haaland had given us the lead in the 191st derby from the spot but the second gave Pep Guardiola’s men breathing space before Phil Foden added a third to ensure bragging rights for the Blues.

In previous editions, Rodrigo’s thunderous winner at Sheffield United won the August competition while Alvarez’s free-kick at Wolves topped the September poll.

Well done Erling on your latest award.
