Phil Foden scored a hat-trick for Manchester City against Aston Villa, with a sublime third goal drawing comparisons to Wayne Rooney’s famous strike. Foden was instrumental in City’s return to winning ways, playing in a central role and showcasing his talent. His performance has led to calls for him to play in a number 10 role for England, demonstrating his versatility and skill on the field.
In last night’s game, Foden scored a direct free-kick, a rare occurrence for him as he admitted to not practicing them. Despite the element of luck with finding a gap in the Aston Villa wall, Foden displayed confidence and determination by stepping up to take the set-piece. His decision to take the free-kick over Julian Alvarez, who had previously missed one, reflects Foden’s character and stature as a key player for Manchester City.
Foden’s admission about not practicing free-kicks showcases his natural talent and ability to perform under pressure. Despite the fortunate circumstances of his free-kick goal, Foden’s confidence and willingness to take risks on the field are commendable. His performance in the game against Aston Villa further cements his status as a rising star in football, with the potential to be a key player for both Manchester City and England in the future.
