That tactic worked until the 33rd minute when Foden blasted the blues into the lead. Good work down the City left saw Alvarez released inside the penalty area and his ball across was collected by Foden, who rifled the ball into the back of the goal.
City were still without Erling Haaland for the match. Although the Norway striker is back in training, manager Pep Guardiola didn't risk the striker, particularly with a difficult trip to Newcastle at the weekend. Kalvin Phillips and Bernardo Silva were both ill and John Stones missed the match through injury.
