Foden broke through the 232-day ball drought! Manchester City Derby 7th goal, passionate slid, Dokus assisted

In the 4th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester City played against Manchester United at home. Foden scored a header, breaking the Premier League ball drought since January 25.

Before the Manchester City derby, Guardiola talked about Foden, "He has always been the player I pay most attention to, and I really want to see him happy. One of the reasons why we were in trouble last season was his absence, both in terms of creativity in the offensive third zone and professional attitude."

Folden really scored the first record for Manchester City against Manchester United at home. In the 17th minute, Duoku passed two players in the right side of the penalty area before passing the cross, and Fuden headed the ball to score 1-0! After scoring the goal, Foden slid passionately and rushed to the audience to hug the fans.

Fourden scored his first goal of the season, breaking the Premier League goal drought since January 25. This is also Foden's seventh goal scored in the derby. Manchester United became Foden's second most goals in his career, second only to Brighton, who scored 8 goals by Foden.

However, most of the credit for this goal belongs to Duoku, which was his beautiful breakthrough and accurate cross-pass that helped Foden get the opportunity to head the ball. Neville pointed out, "Doku's extraordinary and passes are absolutely wonderful. The ball fell at his feet again, and he passed the ball to a very good area again."
