Phil Foden led Manchester City’s fightback after an astonishing miss by Erling Haaland for a 3-1 win over Manchester United in a one-sided derby that exposed the gulf between the two Premier League rivals on Sunday.
Raphael Varane Phil Foden Erling Haaland - The Canadian PressMANCHESTER, England —
“I always had the feeling he would score goals. Right now, he is winning games,” City manager Pep Guardiola said of Foden, the 23-year-old England forward whose double took him to 17 goals this season in all competitions — a career high.There was still time for Haaland to atone for his miss by taking advantage of a defensive error to stroke home the third goal in stoppage time with City's 27th shot of the match.
United, meanwhile, has lost ground in the fight for Champions League qualification. With fourth-place Aston Villa and fifth-place Tottenham winning on Saturday, United is now six points back from Spurs and 11 behind Villa. United was outclassed at Etihad Stadium, with the game mostly being played in the visitors' half in the manner of an FA Cup match between a top-flight team and a lower-league opponent. City had 74% possession overall and United only had one shot on target — Rashford's goal.
And so, City will be heading to Anfield for a seismic match next Sunday right on Liverpool's tail and with a chance of inflicting a huge blow in the title race. City is now unbeaten in 19 matches in all competitions dating back to a 1-0 loss at Villa on Dec. 6.
