Manchester City extended their impressive run in the Premier League, as they secured a 3-1 victory against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Phil Foden was the star of the show, scoring a spectacular hat-trick and leading his team to another important win. After this result, City is now just two points behind league leaders Liverpool.
City’s performance was effective and composed, as they quickly responded to Neal Maupay’s surprise opening goal for the hosts. Foden’s three goals were all scored from inside the box, as he excelled once again in his role as an attacking midfielder, supported by Kevin De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez.
Playing centrally, Foden linked up superbly with his teammates and caused problems for the Brentford defense throughout the game. He combined well with De Bruyne and Alvarez, and benefited from some exceptional service from Erling Haaland, who assisted him for his final goal.
His performance did not go unnoticed, as football pundit Michail Antonio expressed his admiration for Foden, highlighting his extraordinary skills and versatility. The 23-year-old’s quality on the ball, vision, and technical ability left a lasting impression on the West Ham United striker.
Last season was not ideal for Foden, but his performances this season have been exceptional. Even with De Bruyne’s return to the lineup, Foden has continued to shine, with his impact on matches not diminishing. He has already scored his 14th goal of the season and is on track to surpass last season’s tally.
Foden’s recent form is a testament to his development and growth as a top-class player. His ability to consistently influence games and make important contributions to his team’s success has been remarkable. At just 23, Foden’s potential seems limitless, and his continued development is a promising sign for Manchester City and England’s national team.
