Noel Gallagher 'on knees' as City thrash United

Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher tells Radio 5 live's Colin Paterson he was "on my knees in front of the television" when his side scored their sixth goal during the 6-1 defeat of arch-rivals United, external.

The former Oasis star's first solo album had just charted at number one, but Gallagher says the achievement was "overshadowed" by an "incredible day" at Old Trafford, calling David Silva "the best player in the league" and Mario Ballotelli "a legend".
