In a thrilling Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, Phil Foden stole the show as Manchester City overcame an early setback to secure a 3-1 win against rivals Manchester United.
United struck first with Marcus Rashford’s stunning long-range strike, but City responded emphatically. Foden, hailed by manager Pep Guardiola as the Premier League’s best player, showcased his talent with two sensational goals.
His first, a curling effort from outside the box, leveled the scoreline before he added a second with a composed finish late in the game. Erling Haaland completed the victory with a goal in stoppage time.
Despite Rashford’s brilliance for United, City’s dominance was evident throughout the match. Haaland’s earlier miss did not deter City, who relentlessly attacked United’s defense.
The win sees City narrow the gap to leaders Liverpool, setting the stage for a crucial showdown at Anfield next week. With Foden’s stellar performance and City’s determination, they are firmly in contention for the Premier League title.
As City embarks on a decisive month, with key fixtures ahead, including a clash against Arsenal, Foden’s influence continues to grow. His contributions on the pitch have been vital, earning him the title of the match’s standout performer.
