Foden Brace Sees Manchester City Thrash Brighton

Brighton have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season and Manchester City went into this tie without in-form Ferran Torres, but they secured a convincing win.

After assisting in the 5-1 win over Club Brugge, he turned goalscorer on the south coast of England in a 4-1 victory in which he scored twice.

Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez were both left on the bench but were not needed thanks to City’s intensity and passing.

Ilkay Gundogan broke the deadlock as he took advantage of a poor pass from Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Foden then scored the next two, with substitute Mahrez putting the icing on the cake in injury time.

Sanchez’s saves

Sanchez was at fault for the first goal, despite claiming a foul, but he denied City time and time again, though Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty was not enough to take anything from the game.
