The home grown midfielder scored two classy goals in what was a perfect afternoon for the holders at the Etihad Stadium
Pep Guardiola had talked up how much he loves the FA Cup in the build-up to Manchester City’s third-round tie, and he and his side proved it with a relentless 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town, as homegrown stars Phil Foden and Oscar Bobb ran riot.
Guardiola picked a strong side against the Championship strugglers, and Foden led the way, opening the scoring with his 70th goal for the club and then hitting a wonderful first-time strike in the second half, after Julian Alvarez and an own goal from Ben Jackson, which really belonged to the sensational Bobb, had stretched City’s lead.
A Jeremy Doku goal, served up by a sumptuous pass from Kevin De Bruyne in his first appearance in five months, rounded off the perfect way for City to begin their defence of the trophy. Roll on the fourth round and God help whoever is drawn against them!
