Man City 6-0 Ipswich (19 Jan 2025) Match Analysis

Manchester City’s Phil Foden scored twice and created another in a superb first-half display as they hammered Ipswich Town 6-0 at Portman Road on Sunday to move back into the Premier League’s top four.

The comprehensive victory moved City to 38 points and into fourth place on goal difference ahead of Newcastle United, but they are still 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and six behind Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

Foden opened the scoring in the 27th minute before teeing up Mateo Kovacic three minutes later to double City’s advantage, and Foden then added another goal in the 42nd minute to send his side 3-0 up at the break.

Jeremy Doku scored the fourth with a deflected effort just after the break before setting up Erling Haaland to score and substitute James McAtee completed the rout in the 69th minute with a looping header.
