A formality before the European Cup? On the pitch at Portman Road, for the first time in almost 23 years, Manchester City easily dominated their opponent of the day (0-6). The Citizens remained, before this meeting, in a frustrating draw at Brentford (2-2), after having wasted a two-goal lead, on a double from Foden, before late equalizers from Wissa and Norgaard. For its part, Ipswich, beaten by Brighton (0-2) last Thursday, hopes to recover against a formidable opponent.
But that was without counting on the Mancunian armada. Foden opened the scoring in the 27th minute (0-1), followed by a superb goal from Kovacic (30th, 0-2) and another goal from Foden before half-time (42nd, 0-3 ). In the second half, City continued their momentum. Doku scored the fourth (50th, 0-4), Haaland added the fifth (57th, 0-5), and McAtee sealed the final result at 6-0 with a header (69th, 0-6). A great victory for Pep Guardiola's men, who will meet Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday in the Champions League. In the Premier League standings, City are slowly climbing back up the slope. The club is 4th with 38 points. For its part, Ipswich remains in the red zone. The Tractor Boys are 17th before 16 points.
