Man City midfielder Fernandinho hails manner of Man Utd thumping

Fernandinho admits the manner of Manchester City's win over Manchester United was the most pleasing.

Ilkay Gundogan's goal - City's third - came late on but was the result of an incredible 44-pass move and the Brazil midfielder has admitted this is the style they all strive for at City.

“We always pass the ball and try to find players between the lines in the best position possible to attack the opponent," he said.

“We ask the players to respect their position and keep their position because the ball will arrive.

“I think that has happened, especially in this case. We pass the ball and when you find space the guys accelerate the play, find some space inside the area and Gundo scored a marvellous goal.

“It made everyone happy."
