Foden hat-trick helps City to ease past AEK Athens
Foden’s first Champions League hat-trick helped Manchester City rebound from defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and keep pace in the group stage.
- Manchester City defeated AEK Athens 5-1 on Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League, with Phil Foden scoring a hat-trick to reignite their European campaign.
- A well-below capacity crowd attended the match, with swathes of empty rows visible inside the newly-expanded 61,000-seater Etihad as fans stayed away from the Champions League clash.
- Elliot Anderson and Rayan Cherki also scored for City, though AEK briefly cut the deficit to 2-1 through Stavros Palios after 52 minutes before the hosts reasserted control.
- Manager Enzo Maresca's side bounced back from their recent defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, reinforcing their position at the top of the Premier League standings.
- Leading scorer Erling Haaland was rested following an injury scare, while midfielder Rayan Cherki has returned to form in recent days after a frustrating start to the season.
