At the Etihad on Sunday, Julian Alvarez scored the game's lone goal after just 12 minutes, kicking off City's Premier League title celebrations.
After Cole Palmer found him with an inch-perfect through ball, Alvarez got away from his defender and slid the ball home.
However, the offensive move began when Chelsea's Fofana gave the ball directly to Kalvin Phillips, who then passed to Palmer to assist Alvarez.
Really poor give away from Fofana,’ Neville said during commentary of the match on Sky Sports
It is never in doubt from Palmer, it is so accurate and precise with his pass, brilliant when Alvarez is one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
‘City may have made more changes, but they have started much better than Chelsea.’
Fofana was one of many players who arrived at Chelsea this season with the centre-back signed in a deal worth £75m from Leicester City.
The 22-year-old Frenchman had made 18 appearances for the Blues, in what has been a horrific campaign for the west Londoners.
Their poor season comes despite the club spending over £600m on players since co-owner Todd Boehly took over from Roman Abramovich.
