Phil Foden is in top form.
Manchester City came from behind to beat Manchester United 3-1 in the 27th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on Thursday morning at 0:30 a.m. ET. The point keeps City in second place with 62 points and United in sixth with 44 points.
It was a one-man show for Foden. City took the lead early in the first half through Marcus Rashford. They then missed a series of chances and went into halftime trailing. Despite dominating the game overall, the equalizer didn’t come easily.
It would have been a shaky start, but City had Foden. In the 11th minute of the second half, Foden received a pass from Rodriguez and struck a mid-range shot from outside the penalty box. It was a picture-perfect trajectory and found the back of the net. It was the game-winner.
Foden scored the game-winning goal. In the 35th minute of the second half, Foden broke inside the penalty box and fired a low shot into the back of the net. He neutralized goalkeeper Andre Onana, who made an incredible save.
After the game, Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Foden. “He’s always been a promising player, but now he’s more mature. He can play in the center, on the right, and he can score goals from the left. There’s nothing more to say. He is the best player in the PL at the moment.”
Guardiola is not wrong. Foden has been incredible this season. He”s scored 11 goals in the league alone, including a multi-goal game against United, and has added seven assists. He”s sixth in the league in offensive points.
In the UEFA Champions League, he”s also been on fire. He led City’s attack as they topped their group and advanced to the round of 16. He has three goals and two assists in the group stage alone, including a goal 카지노사이트 and an assist in the first leg of the round of 16 against Copenhagen, which he scored in a 3-1 win.
He already has 18 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season. He has the same number of offensive points as Jude Bellingham, who has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world at Real Madrid. “Both Foden and Bellingham have 28 offensive points this season,” ESPN reported on its official social media accounts on Thursday. Bellingham has 20 goals and eight assists this season.
England are delighted with their performances. The pairing of Foden and Bellingham will be on display at UEFA Euro 2024 in June. England’s squad for this tournament is arguably their best ever. Harry Kane is in form, with Foden and Xhaka on the left and right wings. Bellingham and Rice will anchor the midfield.
