Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden displayed a fantastic performance on Carabao Cup Final yesterday when Manchester City outclassed Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester City Won 1-0.
The Premiere League giants completely merited a historic fourth successive win in this competition while Spurs somehow survived until the 82nd minute when they conceded a goal despite being largely outclassed from the start.
However Foden’s contribution to City’s success in recent weeks is fantastic and also considering how important he is to the defining days to come.
He is expected to deliver positive results on Champions League semi-final first leg at Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.
The young midfielder also helped to make the return of the Premier League title to Etihad Stadium.
He was the player who dug City out of a very awkward situation when Borussia Dortmund threatened to leave the Etihad with a crucial Champions League quarter-final first-leg draw by conjuring up a late winner.
In Addition when they were briefly threatened with more Champions League disappointment after Borussia Dortmund took the lead in the second leg, meaning the Bundesliga side were going through at that point, it was Foden’s late winner that eased them into the last four.
Despite being used sparingly at times, his increased involvement means he already has 50 goal involvements (29 goals and 21 assists) in 118 career club appearances, of which only 63 have been starts.
He is also presenting even more of a Euro 2020 conundrum for England manager Gareth Southgate with every passing week, albeit one he is no doubt delighted to have.
The 20 year old is showing great performances with Manchester City and England.
Meanwhile, Foden is a player for all occasions – and there can be no doubt he will be a pivotal figure as City attempt to add the Champions League to this Carabao Cup success and the inevitable Premier League triumph, which could be confirmed next weekend.
