Manchester City’s Phil Foden recently unveiled a new goal celebration after scoring a hat-trick against Brentford on Monday night.
The England international’s goals helped Manchester City come from behind to claim a victory in the Premier League, bringing them within two points of league leaders Liverpool.
Foden’s new celebration, dubbed “Sniper,” was revealed in response to banter from his teammates about his shooting frequency in small-sided training matches.
It’s a bit of banter I have with the lads, they say I shoot a lot in the five-a-side games, they call me ‘The Sniper’”, Foden revealed.
“So I thought I had to pull it out today, even when I arrived at the training ground and there’s a sniper on my locker now.”
Foden’s impressive form this season has seen him score 14 goals and provide nine assists, making him a key contributor to Manchester City’s success.
This recent hat-trick was Foden’s second for the club, and his stellar performance has positioned him as the third-highest scorer for Manchester City in the ongoing campaign.
As the team retains a game in hand, they have the potential to claim the top spot in the division if they maintain their winning streak.
Foden’s next opportunity to further bolster his impressive tallies will come in an upcoming match against relegation-threatened Everton.
His exceptional goal-scoring abilities this season have been a significant improvement from previous years, and fans are eager to see him maintain this form.
The unveiling of his new celebration and stellar performance against Brentford has solidified Foden’s status as a star player for Manchester City.
As the team continues to push for the top spot and success in the Premier League, his contributions and goal-scoring prowess will be vital for their overall success.
