Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany says a derby victory meant more to his team-mates than Manchester United.
.
City crushed United 4-1 thanks to a brace from Sergio Aguero and a goal apiece for Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri before Wayne Rooney's late consolation.
.
"Maybe the game meant a little bit more to us than for them," said Kompany.
.
"We were looking forward to this fixture. We need to win these kind of games. There was no reason why we should fear the opposition."
.
City won 6-1 at Old Trafford on the way to winning the Premier League in 2011-12 but defender Kompany, 27, says the Blues should not get carried away with the latest thrashing of their local rivals.
.
"It's too early to say it's a defining game," added the Belgium international. "You make a statement over the course of the season.
.
"When we won 6-1 at Old Trafford I said we need to stay humble. It's only three points, but it's a good game to win and it gives the fans something to celebrate over the next few days."

Manchester City did greatly in that game and they deserved to win. Manchester United had a very wek midfiled throughout! Sad loss....

I just David Moyes can work on the team so they would do well in their next game. It was a dissappointing outing yesterday afternoon!

I think it meant a whole lot to Man Utd too but they couldn't match up Man City's determination at all.
