Premier League: Foden and Manchester City reverse derby against Manchester United

Manchester City can thank Phil Foden. The England international scored twice to allow his team to overthrow Manchester United (3-1) on Sunday on the 27th day of the Premier League. Erling Haaland delivered the blow at the very end of the match.

After a start to the match largely controlled by the locals, who were lurking around the Onana area, Marcus Rashford took advantage of a nice delivery from Bruno Fernandes after an excellent through ball to arm his left and deceive Ederson, beaten after this excellent shot.

The Citizens continued in the same way as at the start of the first half, keeping the ball most of the time. The domination was blue, and that’s an understatement. The Skyblues had 18 shots on goal in the first period - in addition to their very high percentage in terms of possession (74%) - but Onana saved his team three times, putting out a first period of great class.

Well placed in defense, the Red Devils held on for a long time, until the 56th minute, when Phil Foden allowed his team, thanks to a gem, a curling shot from the left to clear Onana's top corner, to equalize before the hour of play.

Still dominating, as during the entire match, Pep Guardiola's men scored the winning goal in the 80th minute, with a beautiful cross strike from Foden after a pass from Julian Alvarez, one of the two incoming citizens.

Erling Haaland finally sealed the match with a cross shot (90th 1), this time from the left to the right of Ederson's cage, after Amrabat lost the ball, recovered by Rodri.

This success for Manchester City allows the Skyblues to come back to within one point of Liverpool at the top of the standings. The Red Devils are 6th, six points behind Tottenham, fifth, who have a game in hand.
