LONDON (UK) – In what was seen as an attempt to inject some life into Manchester City and salvage a point in a 1-1 draw at West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday, Phil Foden came off the bench.
City were abject in the first half despite dominating possession, and in-form West Ham deservedly took the lead through Michail Antonio’s acrobatic volley in the 18th minute.
But Foden came on at the start of the second half and prompted a massive improvement for the visitors.
He equalised in the 51st minute with a sharp near-post finish, and City dominated thereafter but could not find a winner with Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez coming the closest.
West Ham and City both have eight points and sit in 10th and 11th places respectively, although City have a game in hand.
