Man City goalscorer Foden: We needed fans for RB Leipzig comeback

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden admits they were poor for the first-half of their Champions League win against RB Leipzig.

Lois Openda's double had RBL 2-0 up at halftime before City stormed back via goals from Erling Haaland, Foden and Julian Alvarez.

Foden later said, "First half was the worst I've seen us. Courage and motivation courage changed it around. This team has great mentality and its so nice to see.

"We just needed that [first] goal to get going. Even the fans were a lot louder after the goal. Once the first went in the motivation was there.

"We've got a great record at the Etihad and it only takes one goal to change things."

On his goal, he added: "I've been rushing a few chances but I passed it through the guys legs. Fortunately it went in."
