Manchester City beats Ipswich Town and returns to G4 in the Premier League

Guardiola’s team regains confidence and puts in a good performance

Manchester City defeated Ipswich Town 6-0 this Sunday afternoon (19th), at Portman Road, in round 22 of the Premier League. Two goals today for Guardiola’s team, who are trying to regain confidence with a great performance and, above all, to return to the Champions League qualifying zone. Doku was the highlight of the match and was directly involved in four goals, with one goal, one assist and two pre-assists.

FIRST HALF

Despite an uneven season, City lived up to their favoritism and had an underwhelming first phase. The first big chance of the match came in the 14th minute, when Kovačić found a beautiful pass for Haaland to finish in the area, but goalkeeper Walton managed to block it. Ipswich almost opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a well-worked free kick. Leif Davis crosses low from the edge of the area and Hutchinson shoots hard against the crossbar.

If the home team doesn’t take advantage, City takes advantage and opens the scoring. In the 26th minute, De Bruyne received a pass from Doku inside the area and crossed for Foden who dominated and shot into the left corner. Ipswich didn’t even have time to regret the goal they conceded as Pep’s team doubled their lead just three minutes later. Doku passes to Foden, who rolls the ball to the edge of the area for Kovačić to shoot into the left corner and score his second goal of the game. In the final, in the 41st minute, the citizens scored the third goal with a gesture very similar to the first. Doku throws De Bruyne down the left flank and the midfielder crosses into the area for Foden to push into the net.

SECOND HALF

Ipswich had the opportunity to reduce the score in the third minute, when Ben Johnson invaded the opponent’s area, with a rapid counterattack, and finished with a deflection for a spectacular save by Ederson. With the next move City puts an end to any possibility of reaction. Doku made a great move on the left, dribbled past Godfrey and shot into the right corner to turn the win into a rout. The situation worsens further for the hosts in the 11th minute. Jack Clarke made a grave mistake and handed the ball to the feet of Doku, who had the simple task of rolling it to Haaland, unmarked, to take it away from the goalkeeper and score the fifth goal. The sixth goal came in the 23rd minute, when Kovačić surged into the area and young McAtee headed past an advancing Walton to score the first goal of his Premier League career.

NEXT COMMITMENTS

Ipswich returns to action next Saturday (25th), when they visit Liverpool, at Anfield, in round 23 of the Premier League.

Manchester City will visit PSG next Wednesday (22nd), at the Parc des Princes, in round 7 of the Champions League championship phase.
