Man City started the game pretty poorly against Huddersfield, only using their backup team, and Huddersfield even created the first threatening opportunity of the game.

Foden scored twice, De Bruyne contributed 1 assist to help Man City win

The Man City players “warmed up” and then slowly took the lead back. Foden and Alvarez kept writing their names on the scoreboard from minutes 33 to 37, helping the reigning champions take a 2-0 lead.

As the second half got underway, Huddersfield gave up entirely to Man City’s overwhelming power. The outcome was that the away squad was left watching helplessly as goals were repeatedly let up by Oscar Bobb (58′) and Foden (65′).

Star combination Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne made an outstanding comeback in this game following a spell of recuperation. Man City won 5-0 thanks to an assist from De Bruyne and Doku in the 74th minute.
