"Phil Foden ended a wait of almost eight months for a Premier League goal by scoring with an expert header as Manchester City hosted Manchester United on Sunday. Former top-flight player of the season Doku guided Jeremy Doku's delivery emphatically beyond goalkeeper Altay Bayindir for his seventh goal in seven derby appearances, netting for the first time in the league since a goal at home to Chelsea on January 25."
""The initial work from Doku is absolutely fantastic," former United captain Gary Neville told Sky Sports. "The ball lands back at his feet and he pops the ball back into a really good area. "It was a really good move from City. Doku has had a really good start to the game." Doku surged past Luke Shaw on a blistering run inside the penalty area on the right and found Foden at the second attempt after his initial cross was repelled by Manuel Ugarte."
Phil Foden scored a headed goal to end an almost eight-month Premier League scoring drought during Manchester City's derby against Manchester United. Jeremy Doku produced a blistering run past Luke Shaw and supplied the ball that allowed Foden to finish after an initial cross was repelled. Gary Neville praised Doku's initial work and City's move. Foden had been named the league's best player in 2023/24 but experienced a less effective follow-up season, while he had found form during City's Club World Cup. Gianluigi Donnarumma made his City debut. Several players were absent due to injury or international commitments, including Omar Marmoush and John Stones.
