(The Post News)– Manchester City delivered a masterclass at Portman Road, hammering Ipswich Town 6-0 on Sunday to surge into the Premier League’s top four. City, determined to bounce back from their midweek slip-up against Brentford, came out firing and never looked back.
Phil Foden initiated the game with a brilliant finish, and Mateo Kovacic doubled the lead with a powerful strike. Foden, in sparkling form, added a third before the break, putting City in total control. Jeremy Doku made it four early in the second half and then turned provider for Erling Haaland, who marked his new contract with a goal. James McAtee came off the bench to round off the scoring, making it a day to forget for Ipswich.
City’s dominance was clear from start to finish, with Pep Guardiola’s side displaying fluidity and precision in their play. Foden, speaking to Sky Sports after the match, called it one of their best performances of the season. “We kept possession at crucial times and defended well. The team is bonding better, and it’s showing in our play,” Foden said, his confidence evident as he added, “I’m enjoying football again and want to keep this momentum going.”
This win not only lifts City above Newcastle United but also sets them up perfectly for their upcoming Champions League showdown with PSG. With key fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool looming, City seem to be hitting their stride at just the right time.
The victory underscores City’s intent to remain in the title race, even if Liverpool’s lead appears substantial. For now, City’s sights are set firmly on climbing the table, with Foden and Haaland leading the charge.
