What a win amid a really difficult match. Manchester City earn a 3-2 win at home after a great first half and pretty bad second one. The difference came via Phil Foden as he scored the winner in stoppage time. The performances from Gvardiol, Doku and Donnarumma were also really good for the most part.

“The game was not in the perfect place in the first half, but it should be over for the chances we have and we didn’t concede.
“And after that brilliantly, Daniel changed the system like Leverkusen did, the 5-3-2 and we conceded a goal we gave away in the first minutes [of the second half].
“The build-up was completely different, and the shape takes influence in the way you play.
“Football is emotions and in that moment we concede the second.
“This season has been the Phil we met from a long, long time ago,” Pep declared.
“It’s a joy, a pleasure and a gift to have him.
“Two years ago, when we won the league against West Ham on the last day of the season, he was the best player of the league.

“But the growth of Phil every season is top for many, many reasons.”
