Manchester City faced their city rivals Manchester United on October 23, 2011, exactly eight years ago. The clubs stepped into Old Trafford with two great squads, great fans and a highly tensed Derby atmosphere throughout the city of Manchester and football fans all around the world. The Red Devils boasted the likes of Ashley Young, Wayne Rooney, Darren Fletcher, Chris Smalling and David De Gea. Man City's line-up included Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Mario Balotelli and Joe Hart among others.

Striker Edin Dzeko scored two as well, helping City to a big win. Kun Aguero and David Silva chipped in with a goal each.
