"Phil Foden headed in Jeremy Doku's cross in the 18th minute to end his wait of almost eight months for a Premier League goal and put the hosts on course to end a run of two straight defeats."
"Haaland collected Doku's pass and clipped a deft finish past goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from inside the box on the left eight minutes after the break, then charged on to Bernardo Silva's pass beyond the halfway line, entered the penalty area on the right and stroked in City's third with 22 minutes remaining."
"The Cityzens were without forward Omar Marmoush, who was forced in Egypt's World Cup qualifier away to Burkina Faso on Tuesday. Marmoush suffered a knee injury in the 0-0 draw and was absent alongside midfielders Rayan Cherki and Mateo Kovacic and wideman Rayan Ait-Nouri. Defender John Stones remained out after withdrawing from England duty for the recent qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia."
