Man City player ratings vs Wydad AC: Phil Foden is back! Midfielder outshines debutant Rayan…

The midfielder scored his first goal for five months as the Cityzens made a comfortable start to the tournament with a 2-0 win in Philadelphia

Phil Foden was back in business as Manchester City made a commanding start to the Club World Cup with a 2-0 win over Wydad Casablanca. Foden, who had a dismal last campaign and cited mental struggles as one of the factors in his decline, scored the fastest goal of the tournament when he gave City the lead in the second minute, pouncing on a botched punch away from Wydad's keeper Mehdi Benabid.
