Pelatih Phil Neville kemudian istirahat off untuk ngobrol dengan gelandang City yang cedera sebelum saudaranya Gary, kolumnis Mail on Sunday yang bekerja untuk Sky Sports, menyalami mantan rekan setimnya Patrice Evra setelah wawancara.
Suasana mulai terasa panas ketika pendukung City yang mantan petinju Ricky Hatton menikmati gurauan sebelum pertandingan dengan Nevilles dan reporter Sky Sports Geoff Shreeves.

Kompany kemudian bergabung dengan kapten MU, Nemanja Vidic di ruang ofisial pertandingan ´. Bos City, Manuel Pellegrini mengikuti mereka seraya menggenggam daftar pemain starter.
Para pemain dipanggil menuju terowongan 10 menit sebelum kick-off dan meskipun permusuhan terjadi di tribun, para pemain tampil santai seperti Kompany yang meledek rambut kribo pemain gelandang United, Marouane Fellaini, yang sama-sama berasal dari Belgia.
Suasana hati para pemain berubah setelah turun minum di babak pertama pemain kembali di babak pertama, beberapa saat setelah Yaya Toure membuat City memimpin 2-0, seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Moyes dengan wajah pucat berjalan cepat menuruni terowongan ketika gelandang veteran Ryan Giggs dan pelatih melampiaskan kekesalannya kepada ofisial keempat Michael Oliver. Seperti diungkapkan oleh Sportsmail, Giggs mengeluhkan apa kata-kata pemain City, Matija Nastasic yang meneriaki Oliver: ´Bikin dia lebih pintar. Semangatlah dan lakukan pekerjaan Anda dengan benar."
Teriakan ´menipu, menipu´ dapat didengar dari kerumunan kepada wasit Howard Webb ketika keluar menuju lapangan.
Namun bek kanan City, Pablo Zabaleta menyadari terjadi keributan saat ia bercanda dengan Shreeves, meminta bir untuk dibawa kepadanya setelah melihat dia minum teh, sedangkan Shreeves menyindir sindiran tentang kesukaan Zabaleta terhadap ikan dan kentang goreng.
Kompany mengomentari wasit Webb dan kiper United, David De Gea menyapa sesama pemain Spanyol Alvaro Negredo dengan menampar pelan belakang kepalanya.
Babak kedua tidak mampu memberi perlawanan tangguh sehingga mereka terpuruk di babak kedua dengan skor 4-1 namun Wayne Rooney tetap memanfaatkan kesempatan di situ untuk tukaran jersey dengan Negredo.
Dan City merayakan kemenangan derby dengan menyantap hidangan pizza.
FANS have been taken into the heart of one of football´s biggest derby days after Manchester City released ´tunnel cam´ footage from Sunday´s clash.
The unique recording offers an intriguing insight into the emotionally-charged events both on and off the pitch during City´s 4-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
The video begins with United manager David Moyes experiencing his first taste of a Manchester derby, with his players and coaching staff, dressed in club suits, heading towards the dressing room.
Coach Phil Neville then breaks off to have a chat with injured City midfielder Jack Rodwell before his brother Gary, a Mail on Sunday columnist and at the game working for Sky Sports, embraces former team-mate Patrice Evra after an interview.

Kompany then joins United skipper Nemanja Vidic in the match officials´ room. City boss Manuel Pellegrini follows them in clutching the team sheet.
The players are called into the tunnel 10 minutes before kick-off and despite the hostility in the stands, the players appear relaxed as Kompany playfully ruffles the hair of United midfielder and fellow Belgian Marouane Fellaini.
The mood changes as the players return at half-time, seconds after Yaya Toure had put City 2-0 ahead.
An ashen-faced Moyes walks quickly down the tunnel as veteran midfielder and coach Ryan Giggs vents his frustration at fourth official Michael Oliver. As revealed by Sportsmail, Giggs complained about what he thought was over zealous defending by City’s Matija Nastasic by
yelling at Oliver: ´Get a grip of him. Man up and do your job.´
Chants of ´cheat, cheat´ can be heard form the crowd as referee Howard Webb heads off the pitch.
But City right-back Pablo Zabaleta is oblivious to the commotion as he shares a joke with Shreeves, asking for beer to be brought to him after spotting him drinking tea, while Shreeves makes a quip about Zabaleta´s love of fish and chips.
Kompany has a word with referee Webb and United keeper David De Gea greets fellow Spaniard Alvaro Negredo with a playful slap.
The second half doesn´t offer any respite for United as they slip to a 4-1 defeat but Wayne Rooney still wants a momento of the occasion by swapping shirts with Negredo.
And City celebrate derby glory by tucking into slabs of pizza.
