Manchester City got their Champions League campaign back on track with a 5-1 triumph over AEK Athens, inspired by a treble from Phil Foden.

Elliot Anderson registered his maiden goal for the club alongside a Rayan Cherki strike in a one-sided display at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Stavros Palios briefly pulled a goal back for the Greek champions early in the second half, offering a rare moment of quality from the visitors.

City proved superior in all departments despite Enzo Maresca rotating his squad to give opportunities to fringe players.

Top scorer Erling Haaland remained on the bench throughout following a recent injury scare.

Youngster Floyd Samba deputised for the Norwegian striker up front, but the evening ultimately belonged to Foden.

After two underwhelming seasons and a red card in last month's Manchester derby, the midfielder has returned in style over recent days.
