On Saturday, Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, thanks to a stellar performance from Phil Foden. His winning goal in the first half was just one of many impressive plays made by the young midfielder, who has been standing out on the pitch all season with 16 goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
Manager Pep Guardiola was quick to praise Foden, stating that he believes the 23-year-old has reached "world class" status. In an interview, Guardiola gushed about Foden's control and speed, noting that he has truly become a top class football player. From a young boy to a top player, Foden has shown immense growth and skill.
But it wasn't just Guardiola who noticed Foden's remarkable performance. In a separate interview, he told BBC Sport that he was pleased with the team's overall behavior and performance, especially considering the tough playing conditions. Guardiola also mentioned standout performances from John Stones and Foden, who he believes is playing the best football he's ever seen from him.
Despite only having three days to prepare for the game, compared to Bournemouth's seven, City dominated the first half and could have scored even more. Guardiola praised the team's defensive efforts, acknowledging the challenge of playing with less recovery time. He also expressed his admiration for the players, who have been playing at a top level every three days for years.
While Guardiola would love to win three or four games in a row, he knows that it's not always possible. But with Foden and the rest of the team's incredible performances, City continues to prove their dominance in the Premier League.
