Phil Foden dedicated Manchester City’s 3-0 win over rivals Manchester United to boxer and lifelong City fan Ricky Hatton following his death earlier on Sunday.
Hatton, 46, was found dead at his Manchester home on Sunday, just hours before the game at the Etihad, with tributes pouring in for the ‘Hitman’ prior to kick-off.
Fans, players and staff honoured the former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion with a minute’s applause before City put in a dominant display, with Foden opening the scoring after 18 minutes and Erling Haaland netting twice in the second half.
Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
