Phil Foden stole the show yesterday at the Etihad Stadium, bagging a magnificent hat-trick as Manchester City dispatched Aston Villa 4-1. The young English midfielder stepped up in a big way, putting on a dominant display that keeps City firmly in the Premier League title race.
The match started with both teams trading blows. Rodri opened the scoring for City in the 11th minute, but Villa responded quickly through Jhon Duran just nine minutes later. However, the momentum shifted on the stroke of halftime when Foden stepped up to curl a beautiful free-kick into the top corner.
The second half was all about Foden. He showcased his incredible range with a stunning long-range strike that left the Villa keeper with no chance. Foden wasn’t done yet, completing his hat-trick with another well-taken goal, securing the win for City and his second hat-trick of the season.
This victory keeps City breathing down the neck of league leaders Arsenal. With Foden in such scintillating form, Pep Guardiola’s men will be a force to be reckoned with in the remaining matches of the season.
Foden’s masterclass has sent shockwaves through the Premier League. Can he continue his scoring spree and help City reclaim the title?
