Foden needs to be more composed - Dias

[Getty Images] Manchester City captain Ruben Dias say Phil Foden needed to be "more controlled and composed" when provoked by Bruno Fernandes in Sunday's Manchester derby. Foden was sent off for violent conduct after kicking out at Fernandes on the floor after being fouled and kicked himself by the Manchester United skipper. "In the moment I felt it was a bit harsh because my perception was Bruno kicks Phil and then he has a rushed reaction and maybe kicks him back," Dias said. "I'm not saying Phil didn't do wrong - obviously he needs to be more controlled and composed in that moment. "I believe he, more than anyone, is frustrated with what happened. That is why it was my biggest joy to come back in and be able to celebrate for him because I know for sure he was feeling responsible for how much more difficult the game became." Despite the red card, City showed spirit, dominated the game and won through Erling Haaland's controversial second-half goal. "I have won many of these derbies but this one goes straight to the top," Dias added. "It is a very special day. More than the win, it was the belief we held on to straight after the red card. "It was a moment when you feel the strategy goes away and the game will change completely. But, every single second after that, you start to build belief that you can pull it off because of how everyone stays together and because of how ineffective we were making them offensively. "It says a lot about the character that we have." Listen to the full chat below or on BBC Sounds
