The Athletic’s Friday football quiz question #34

Welcome to the 34th edition of The Athletic’s Friday quiz question.

At the end of every week, we’ll serve up a poser from our vault of football conundrums. It won’t be easy (unless you’re really good), but what better way to head into the weekend than giving your soccer-loving brain some exercise? Chuck it in your group chats and see who knows their stuff.

Oh, and there’s no prize, except the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.

So, without any further delay…


It’s the Manchester derby on Sunday, a meeting of the two sides who, between them, have won 21 of the 32 editions of the Premier League. And although it feels unlikely that either will add to that tally this season, it’s still set to be a fascinating match.

So in honour of one of English football’s most-storied fixtures:

Can you name every player to score four or more goals in a Premier League Manchester derby? (And because we’re nice we’ll give you the two easiest ones)

  • Wayne Rooney, 8
  • Sergio Aguero, 8
  • ???, 7
  • ???, 6
  • ???, 6
  • ???, 5
  • ???, 5
  • ???, 5
