We won't go so far as to say that Pep Guardiola's team is healed, since they again let slip two points this week against Brentford (2-2) while leading 2-0 a few minutes from the END. But the Skyblues won their third success in four days by winning largely on the Ipswich pitch (0-6).

Phil Foden (27th) and Mateo Kovacic (30th) found the fault, and Foden signed a new double just before the break (42nd).
