Liverpool Outclass Manchester City at Anfield as Foden Struggles

Liverpool delivered a commanding performance against Manchester City at Anfield, extending their lead over the defending Premier League champions to a staggering 11 points.

The match showcased Liverpool’s dominance, with the midfield trio of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai leaving Pep Guardiola’s side helpless.

One of the most disappointing displays came from Phil Foden, who received the lowest rating among all players, scoring just 6.0 on SofaScore. Foden struggled throughout the game, winning only one out of eight ground duels and losing possession 12 times. At one point, Gravenberch outclassed the Englishman with a dazzling piece of skill, underscoring the gulf in form between the two sides.

In the aftermath, Foden took to Instagram to post a photo of his career trophies and accolades, including last season’s Footballer of the Year award. While the post appears to be a reminder of his immense talent, critics were quick to point out his underwhelming contribution this season, with only three goals and two assists in 17 matches.

The tension between Liverpool and City has been further fueled by recent remarks from Liverpool manager Arne Slot, referencing City’s infamous “115 charges.” With Liverpool firmly at the top of the table and City grappling with a winless streak, the rivalry between the two clubs is becoming even more intense.

For Liverpool fans, the dominant display at Anfield is a testament to the team’s resurgence under Slot, while City faces growing questions about their faltering form.
