   • 2011 October 23, Phil McNulty, “Man Utd 1 - 6 Man City”, BBC Sport:

     To increase United's pain, this was their first home defeat in any competition since April 2010, when they lost to Chelsea - but even that defeat, which effectively cost them the title, may not turn out to have the same long-term significance as this heavy beating.
