Manchester City's Phil Foden was on fire on Sunday at Portman Road! He scored twice and set up another goal in an outstanding first-half display as his team hammered Ipswich Town 6-0.

This impressive performance has helped City secure a spot back in the Premier League's top four.The win has City on 38 points, moving them to fourth on goal difference, just ahead of Newcastle United. However, they're still 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and six behind Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

Ipswich, still in 18th place with 16 points, had a couple of good early chances, but City shook off their recent poor performances with a great attacking display. Once they got the first goal, there was no way back for their opponents.

It came in the 27th minute as Jérémy Doku teamed up with Kevin De Bruyne, and he then set up Foden to slot it home and break the deadlock.That trio had the Ipswich defence running scared as Mateo Kovacic doubled the lead just three minutes later. Doku was on the left again, passing to Foden, who set up Kovacic, and the Croat didn't hesitate to shoot from outside the box.

City kept going on the left, and it paid off in the 42nd minute when Foden got his second, his shot getting under the body of Ipswich keeper Christian Walton and across the line.

There was no let-up after the break as Doku scored four minutes into the second half before setting up Erling Haaland, who signed a lucrative 10-year-contract in midweek, to make it 5-0.

Substitute James McAtee completed the rout in the 69th minute with a looping header, much to the delight of coach Pep Guardiola, whose side look to be back to something resembling their best form.
