Manchester Derby: Foden's Brilliance Overturns Result, City Triumphs over United

In the Manchester derby, the spotlight is taken by Phil Foden who, in the second half, overturns the result and leads City to victory against United. A double from the English gem paves the way for Pep Guardiola's team, which seals the deal with the usual Haaland in the final moments. Rashford gives the Red Devils false hope: Foden turns it around, Haaland seals it Yet, the approach of the Red Devils had been the right one. Ten Hag's team had gone ahead after 8 minutes with Marcus Rashford, who stunned the Etihad Stadium. Manchester United managed to maintain the lead throughout the first half, despite the several opportunities of the citizens, one above all Haaland's close-range chance that incredibly did not find the net. This could have been a sign of a bad day for Guardiola's boys. However, it was not to be. In the second half, Manchester City took control with the derby's protagonist, Phil Foden, author of two wonderful goals. The first at the 56th minute after a personal action concluded with a surgical and powerful left-foot shot into the corner of the goal. The second at the 80th minute after the service from Julian Alvarez; a goal of class and elegance that left Onana no chance and showcases all the talent of the forward born in 2000. Erling Haaland's signature presence could not be missed, who waited until the 91st minute to pierce Onana and score the final goal for a 3-1 victory. Guardiola's team responds to the league-leading Liverpool and moves within one point of the Reds, extending their lead over Arsenal and Aston Villa.
