While Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes gave City a two-goal cushion, a late strike from Tom Ince almost turned the tie on its head, setting up a nervy finish for the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"2551\" src=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/aasoject.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/aasoject.webp 800w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/aasoject-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/aasoject-768x431.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>City\u2019s dominance throughout much of the game, coupled with a less-than-inspiring performance from Phil Foden, added an extra layer of drama to a match that could have been an easy cruise. Let\u2019s dive into how City nearly stumbled against the Championship side and take a look at the standout players, as well as those who had a night to forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4445ae4f740ffa1206bfb30b6852b627\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Early Dominance and Jeremy Doku&#8217;s Magic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening stages of the match showcased Manchester City\u2019s class. Despite resting several key players\u2014Erling Haaland, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, and Ederson\u2014the Cityzens were firmly in control. Youngsters Nico O&#8217;Reilly, James McAtee, and Kaden Braithwaite were given starting spots, and they didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City\u2019s first goal came relatively early, thanks to a shocking error from Watford\u2019s Ryan Porteous. His weak back-pass was intercepted by McAtee, who quickly found Jack Grealish. Grealish, ever the team player, unselfishly set up Doku for a neat finish inside the box. Doku\u2019s strike was a thing of beauty, and his overall performance left Watford chasing shadows for much of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">Contr\u00f4le derri\u00e8re le pied d\u2019appui \u2013 Frappe \u2013 But, par <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeremyDoku?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JeremyDoku<\/a> \ud83d\udc4c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UZ6m5sO9ML\">pic.twitter.com\/UZ6m5sO9ML<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Manchester City (@ManCityFra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCityFra\/status\/1838862253249949735?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 25, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Watford thought they had equalized later in the first half through Kwadwo Baah, the goal was ruled out for a foul. Baah\u2019s strong run ended in a shot that beat City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, but his challenge on the teenage defender Braithwaite was deemed illegal, and the Championship side were left frustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-546bdf24d66ca3be191e1cdfe5e072e5\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Matheus Nunes Extends City&#8217;s Lead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the game wore on, Manchester City enjoyed nearly 75% possession, but genuine chances were hard to come by. Watford defended valiantly, with the visitors offering a few glimpses of danger on the counterattack. However, City&#8217;s second goal was all about their class and composure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rico Lewis, impressive once again, drove through Watford\u2019s midfield before laying the ball off to Nunes. The Brazilian set himself up perfectly and struck the ball sweetly from 18 yards out, finding the bottom corner of the net and giving City a much-needed cushion. It was a clinical finish that showcased Nunes\u2019 growing influence in the team, further proving why he\u2019s becoming a key figure in Pep Guardiola&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8064161c6e71456bfe67017753b90920\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Phil Foden\u2019s Rare Stinker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On a night when Manchester City should have run riot, Phil Foden\u2019s off-day was all too apparent. Usually a beacon of creativity, Foden struggled to get involved, often slowing down City\u2019s attacks. His lack of sharpness meant that City were unable to fully capitalize on their dominance. This rare stinker from Foden was surprising, especially considering his usual high standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfa5 Le r\u00e9sum\u00e9 de notre qualification en <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Carabao_Cup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Carabao_Cup<\/a> face \u00e0 Watford \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lXD4MTIiuP\">pic.twitter.com\/lXD4MTIiuP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Manchester City (@ManCityFra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCityFra\/status\/1838848945646133576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 25, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite having plenty of possession, City couldn\u2019t find the net again, and Foden\u2019s sluggish play was partly to blame. For Watford, it was a blessing, as it allowed them to remain in the game even when it seemed like they were outclassed for long stretches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4c8e09deeb372e5f76ba13849750124b\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Tom Ince\u2019s Late Goal Causes Panic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just when Manchester City thought they had the game wrapped up, Tom Ince decided to inject some late drama. In the 86th minute, Ince collected the ball on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful shot past Ortega, making it 2-1 and ensuring a nervy finish for the City faithful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watford pushed hard in the final minutes, and for a brief moment, it seemed like a comeback was on the cards. The Championship side\u2019s resilience was admirable, and they tested City\u2019s defense in ways that few expected. However, City managed to hold on, with Ortega making a couple of crucial saves in stoppage time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d0374389ed53d1d84637415c10247a95\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Player Ratings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeremy Doku \u2013 9\/10<\/strong><br>City\u2019s brightest spark, Doku, was relentless with his pace and trickery. His goal was well taken, and he looked dangerous every time he had the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jack Grealish \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><br>Another strong performance from Grealish, who assisted Doku\u2019s goal and was a constant menace on the wing. His decision-making was sharp, and his link-up play was superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matheus Nunes \u2013 8\/10<\/strong><br>Scored a fantastic goal and was solid throughout. Nunes is growing into his role at City and looks to be a great asset in the midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phil Foden \u2013 5\/10<\/strong><br>A rare off-night for Foden. He struggled to make an impact, and his decision-making seemed off. This performance won\u2019t worry Pep too much, but it\u2019s clear Foden has better days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rico Lewis \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><br>A composed performance from the young defender. He was instrumental in City\u2019s second goal and showed great maturity throughout the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stefan Ortega \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><br>Had little to do for most of the match but was called into action late on, making some important saves to keep City ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manchester City 2-1 Watford | Extended Highlights \ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KO9kG1IMwWY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4a70eaa90f78661fa7c635d59e257500\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1727255723869\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who scored the goals for Manchester City?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes scored for Manchester City in their 2-1 win against Watford.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1727255733498\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How did Watford manage to come close to a comeback?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Tom Ince scored a stunning goal in the 86th minute to make it 2-1, creating a tense final few minutes for Manchester City.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1727255743457\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What happened to Phil Foden in the match?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Phil Foden had a rare poor performance, struggling to create chances and slowing down City&#8217;s attacking play.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1727255753477\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who were the standout performers for Manchester City?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish were the standout performers, with both players heavily involved in City&#8217;s attacking play.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"2552\" src=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/asacsaoject.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/asacsaoject.webp 800w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/asacsaoject-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/asacsaoject-768x431.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-669ab51bb6ae2a70bde083d1442a9874\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester City&#8217;s narrow 2-1 victory over Watford in the Carabao Cup showcased both their strengths and weaknesses.

Phil Foden&#8217;s off-day certainly didn\u2019t help, but City managed to progress, thanks to some late heroics from Stefan Ortega and a bit of luck.
