Phil Foden provides timely reminder that Manchester City don’t just rely on Erling Haaland
A Phil Foden double with certain similarities meant that this is as close as Haaland has come to being upstaged by anyone else at Manchester City this season. Many a match has lent itself to the theory that they are over-reliant on their giant talisman for goals but this was not one of them.
Pep Guardiola has put pressure on Thomas Tuchel to recall Phil Foden to the England squad following the Manchester City star's stunning performance in a 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund.
Phil Foden has admitted he is feeling happy again amid his resurgence in form following a difficult last season with Manchester City after scoring twice in the 4-1 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund.
England coach Thomas Tuchel knows how good Phil Foden is. But Foden's Champions League brace was a timely reminder of his immense talent.
As for Haaland, the Norwegian’s finish made him the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs (including Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund). Elsewhere for City, Savinho recovered from a difficult game against Bournemouth to star in the victory.
With Nico O'Reilly scoring the final goal in the 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday, Phil Foden made it two in a row for academy graduates and without Haaland, passing the ball beautifully past Gregor Kobel after being left in acres of space in the edge of the box.
