A charming interview with a very happy man-of-the-match Phil Foden. “It’s always good to play a part and score goals, and just enjoying my football. The main thing is I’m just happy to get the result today. We’re looking sharp and I just hope we can continue the form into the next games. No matter who the manager puts out, everyone does a job, it’s just great to be part of the team. I think that was my best game in a City shirt. I’m still learning every day, I’ve still got a long way to go, I’m still young, but I’m just happy when I put performances like that in.”
That reduces Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to 20 points. City are probably more interested in the fact they’ve got a 17-point lead over fifth-placed neighbours United, which will stand them in good stead if they successfully appeal their European ban. Then again, nothing’s over until it’s over. However, on that subject, should Liverpool beat Crystal Palace on Wednesday, City will have to beat Chelsea on Thursday to keep the title race alive. Burnley remain in 11th spot.
