"City dominated possession in the early stages without truly threatening Lee Nicholls' goal, but the Huddersfield goalkeeper had to pick the ball out of his net in the 18th minute. Foden played a neat one-two with debutant Divine Mukasa on the edge of the area, then arrowed a left-footed strike into the bottom-right corner. City struggled to carve out clear-cut chances for the remainder of the first half."
"However, City had lost their touch in the competition in recent years, losing three of their last four EFL Cup matches going into Wednesday's game - as many defeats as they suffered in their first 29 games in the competition under Guardiola (22 wins, five draws). But Foden's strike settled any potential nerves, and the England international managed three shots, created three chances and played 38 of his 66 passes in the final third before being substituted in the 77th minute."
Manchester City beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 in the EFL Cup third round, with Phil Foden scoring and assisting. Foden opened the scoring in the 18th minute after a one-two with debutant Divine Mukasa, curling a left-footed strike into the bottom-right corner. City controlled possession but created few clear chances until Nico O'Reilly had a 53rd-minute opportunity saved by Lee Nicholls. Savinho sealed the win in the 74th minute, finishing off a cross after Foden's setup. Huddersfield nearly forced a late scare when Cameron Ashia hit the inside of the post. Foden completed three shots and created three chances.
