Manchester City midfielder, Phil Foden, scored twice in the second half as the Premier League champions came from behind to beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford’s thumping long shot had given Erik ten Hag’s team an unlikely lead in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium and Erling Haaland’s shocking miss from much closer range allowed United to retain the lead until the interval.
Foden, however, found a fantastic strike of his own before putting City ahead with a low finish.

Haaland finally found his goal in stoppage time to reflect his side’s dominance and end United’s run of 143 Premier League games without losing when leading at the break.
Ten Hag could point to a plan that worked for almost an hour and marginal decisions that went against his side but City were worthy winners.
The victory extends their unbeaten run to 10 games and moves Pep Guardiola’s side back within one point of leaders Liverpool.
City hold a 3-1 aggregate lead for their Champions League second leg with FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night.
Attention then turns to Liverpool for a potentially crucial game in the title race on Sunday, March 10.
United, on the other hand, host Everton in the Premier League next Saturday, March 9.
