However, the home team equalised thanks to an unfortunate own goal from Ruben Dias in the 12th minute. Rodrygo put his team 2-1 ahead just two minutes later as Carlo Ancelotti’s players went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.

Phil Foden got his name on the scoresheet with a great strike in the 66th minute. Just five minutes later, Josko Gvardiol put Man City ahead when he scored with an excellent strike.
