Rampant City make Pellegrini an instant hit

Manchester City 4 Manchester United 1

The summer appointment to replace the man who previously held the majority of love from the Blues support, Roberto Mancini, oversaw proceedings yesterday as two goals from Sergio Aguero and one each from Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri gave David Moyes a first Manchester derby to forget as United manager.

A late consolation from Wayne Rooney will not be enough to brighten the mood of Moyes who, after defeats away at Liverpool and City, will now be under no doubts about how daunting the task of following Alex Ferguson is after his charges were completely overwhelmed.
