Manchester City dominated Ipswich with a commanding 6-0 victory in their Premier League clash at Portman Road on January 19, 2025. Phil Foden was the star of the show, scoring two goals in an impressive performance that helped City leap to fourth place in the league standings.
City’s attacking prowess was on full display as they struck three times in the first half. Foden opened the scoring in the 27th minute, finishing off a well-executed move involving Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne.
Just three minutes later, the visitors doubled their lead, with Mateo Kovacic scoring a stunning low strike from the edge of the area after being set up by Foden. The first half ended with Foden adding his second goal in the 42nd minute.
After a quick break led by Doku, De Bruyne squared the ball to Foden, who finished from close range, sending the City players into the break with a comfortable 3-0 lead.
City continued their relentless attack in the second half, further showcasing their offensive strength. Doku made it 4-0 just four minutes after the restart with a well-placed shot that deflected off Ipswich defender Dara O’Shea before hitting the back of the net.
Erling Haaland, who had been a constant threat throughout the match, got his name on the scoresheet in the 57th minute. After a mistake by Ipswich’s Jack Clarke, Doku found Haaland, who coolly finished to extend City’s lead.
James McAtee, who came on as a substitute, completed the rout in the 69th minute. McAtee headed in a perfect cross from Kovacic to score City’s sixth and final goal of the match.
