Young Star’s Magic Sparks Thrilling Comeback
Phil Foden was the hero for Manchester City as his two amazing goals in the second half powered an incredible 3-1 comeback win over big rivals Manchester United. After going behind to a thunderous long-range strike from Marcus Rashford early on, Foden equalized with a sublime shot from distance. He then calmly put City ahead with a neat close-range finish, showing his ability to shine on the big stage.

But he made up for it by coolly slotting home City’s third goal in added time to seal the win and take his Premier League tally to 18 for the season.
