Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden delivered a brilliant performance, scoring a brace, which, combined with Erling Haalands goal against his former club, propelled City to a decisive 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, lifting the team to fourth in the Champions League standings.
Foden's two expertly taken goals came at the perfect moment, offering a timely reminder of his talent ahead of England manager Thomas Tuchel's final squad announcement of the year on Friday.
Haaland , wearing the captain's armband for the evening, showed no hesitation in punishing the team where he made his name, taking his tally to 27 goals for club and country this season in just 17 appearances.
