Quickly led by United, Manchester City won the derby (3-1) on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to an incredible double from Phil Foden.
Phil Foden, 23, continues his superb season with Manchester City. The England international helped Pep Guardiola’s team win the derby against Man United (3-1) on Sunday afternoon at the Etihad Stadium. His superb double allows him to post a record of 17 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. An essential success for his team, which lost Ilkay Gündogan last summer and which played for many months without Kevin De Bruyne.
Marcus Rashford first put on a show during this poster of the 27th day, with a huge missile under Ederson’s bar to open the score from the start (8th). The Cityzens equalized at the start of the second half with an equally exceptional long shot from Foden (56th), a left-handed crack who then gave his team the advantage with a cross shot (80th). Gorgeous.
Haaland, the big failure
It was Erling Haaland who scored the third goal for the reigning champion in added time, following a fatal loss from Sofyan Amrabat (91st). Before his 18th goal in the PL, the Norwegian cyborg will have missed an incredible opportunity, by not targeting a recovery three meters from the goal of André Onana (44th).
Man City returns to one point behind Liverpool, the leader in the standings, one week before the long-awaited clash between the first two on Sunday at Anfield. United fell back into their old ways with two defeats in a row. Erik ten Hag’s team is sixth, eleven points behind 4th (Aston Villa).
