Ipswich 0-6 Man City: Match report & 4 talking points from Portman Road savaging

- Manchester City cruise to victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road
- Phil Foden’s brace and Mateo Kovacic’s low strike ended game as a contest at half-time
- Champions score three more in second half to seal thumping win
Manchester City put the disappointment of their midweek capitulation against Brentford behind them to inflict a punishing 6-0 defeat on Ipswich Town.
The champions were absolutely outstanding from the first whistle, piecing together a statement performance that will undoubtedly leave many wondering how on earth they had ever lost six Premier League games in eight at one stage.
Two goals from Phil Foden and a แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ low Mateo Kovacic rocket had City 3-0 up and cruising at half-time, and they kept their foot on the gas in the second half to add to their tally through Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and James McAtee.
How the game unfolded
City hit their stride almost immediately, stroking the ball around with ease against their relegation-threatened opponents.
It didn’t take long for Erling Haaland to draw a superb save from Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton, though the Norwegian will have been frustrated to have put his effort within the 29-year-old’s grasp.
Omari Hutchinson fired over from a rare foray forward from Ipswich, but they then fell behind as Phil Foden continued his recent hot streak in front of goal. Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne were the architects, before some neat footwork from Foden allowed him to stab the ball home.
Mateo Kovacic blazed an effort high over the bar before making it two minutes later – the Croatian drilling superbly into the bottom corner after more good work from Doku and Foden.
The game was over as a contest when Foden made it three from close range, squirming home a first-time shot under Walton’s body from De Bruyne’s centre, but City continued to pour forward after the interval.
