Man City vs Dortmund: Haaland and Foden discipline BVB as Cityzens cement top-four place

A brace from Phil Foden as well as goals from Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki were enough to see out a cmfortable 4-1 win for Manchester City over Borussia Dortmund.

Despite a consolation goal from Waldemar Anton, Borussia Dortmund could offer little in opposition to the Superior Cityzens, who now sit fourth in the Champions League table.

The German side surprisingly tried to take the game to City early on, but Pep Guardiola’s men punished them on the counter. 

Phil Foden opened the scoring with a precise finish from 25 yards before Erling Haaland smashed home City’s second after fine work from Jeremy Doku. 

Dortmund offered little in attack during the first half, although Karim Adeyemi did test Gianluigi Donnarumma before the break.

After halftime, Foden produced another moment of magic, curling in his second goal of the night into the same bottom corner. 

Manchester City dominated possession and chances, with Savinho missing a golden opportunity to make it four. 

Dortmund briefly made things interesting when Waldemar Anton pulled one back, but a late block from John Stones denied Adeyemi a second. 

In stoppage time, substitute Rayan Cherki sealed the win, ensuring City’s flawless record at home in Europe remained intact.
