In a thrilling Manchester derby, local talent Phil Foden once again proved pivotal for Manchester City, securing a comeback victory against rivals United. Foden’s second-half double canceled out Marcus Rashford’s early strike, keeping City within striking distance of league leaders Liverpool. The match began with Rashford’s thunderous opener, stunning City, and igniting celebrations among United fans.

United’s defensive setup, led by Erik ten Hag’s tactics, initially troubled Guardiola’s side, who struggled to assert their dominance. However, City’s persistence paid off in the second half, as Rodri and Foden orchestrated the comeback. Foden’s clinical finishes showcased his prowess, securing his 17th goal of the season and sealing the win for City. Despite United’s resilient defense and sporadic chances, including a disallowed penalty appeal, City’s attacking prowess ultimately prevailed.

Erling Haaland’s injury-time goal sealed the deal, securing a vital victory for Guardiola’s men. The result marks City’s continued dominance in the Manchester derby and highlights Foden’s growing influence in the fixture. As City remains in contention for the title race, Foden’s performance serves as a reminder of his importance to the team’s success.

Here is the highlight video of Manchester City vs. Manchester United, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Manchester City.
