Phil Foden scored his first goal of the season with Erling Haaland also on target as Manchester City cruised to a 4-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava.

Foden had been battling illness but marked his return to the starting lineup with a clinical finish in the 15th minute.

This followed Ilkay Gundogan’s opener, as his deflected volley found the net for the first time since rejoining Man City in the summer.

Slovan Bratislava struggled throughout the match, rarely venturing out of their own half.

City dominated the first half, hitting the woodwork three times as they threatened to extend their lead.

The one-sided nature of the game continued after halftime, and Haaland inevitably scored in the 58th minute, rounding the goalkeeper and slotting home his 42nd Champions League goal in just 41 appearances.

Substitute James McAtee added a fourth goal 16 minutes from time, marking his first for the club.

Although it was a harsh introduction to the Champions League for Slovan Bratislava, they managed to limit the damage as City could have scored more if they had pressed harder.

With this victory, Manchester City get their European campaign back on track and will turn their attention to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
