Foden Fires Man City to 4-1 Win Over Dortmund Despite Injury

Phil Foden scored twice as Manchester City swept past Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in the Champions League, with Erling Haaland also on target. Rayan Cherki added a fourth in added time after Waldemar Anton had pulled one back for the visitors.

City dominated the first half, with Foden opening the scoring following a neat passing move involving Tijjani Reijnders and Nico González. Haaland soon doubled the lead, smashing home from close range after Jérémy Doku's cross.

Anton's 72nd-minute header gave Dortmund hope, and Karim Adeyemi missed a point-blank chance before Cherki sealed the win. Manager Pep Guardiola, who gave his squad an extra day off after Sunday's win over Bournemouth, will be satisfied with the performance ahead of Liverpool's visit.

The victory moved City to ten points from four games, underlining their growing cohesion. Guardiola, however, will urge his team to avoid conceding momentum after Dortmund threatened a comeback late on.
