Manchester City grabbed three crucial points against Aston Villa, winning 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.
City has the lead, and it’s absolutely lovely from the hosts. Foden slips an excellent ball into the right flank for Doku, who cuts it back for Rodri, who had made an excellent run into the area, to fire high into the roof of the goal. There is a VAR check, but Doku is onside, and the hosts are 1-0 ahead.
Jerrymusa.com reports that Duran picks up the ball in a promising position down the left, plays a well-worked one-two with Rogers, collects the ball back in the left of the penalty area, and coolly slots past Ortega! Another quick VAR check shows Duran is onside.
Foden Won’t Stop Scoring For City
What a quick and lovely effort that is from Foden! The foul from Luiz now looks a little reckless as the England ace, who is having a quite wonderful season, bends a lovely effort through the wall. From a Villa point of view, Zaniolo bafflingly comes away from the wall. What on earth was he thinking? City leads 2-1.
Rodri had a little break initially with a pass that came back to him, but the quick shift of his feet before laying to Foden on the edge of the box was sublime, as was the low finish into the bottom-right corner from the frankly excellent Foden. City leads 3-1, and that could be a game, a set, or indeed a match.
It’s a hat-trick for Foden, and it is utterly brilliant. He initially lost the ball, wanting a free kick, but worked brilliantly to get it back. He then shifts it onto his left foot and finds the top-right corner from 20 yards despite slipping! Three for Foden, four for City.
