Phil Foden scored a hat-trick for Manchester City against Aston Villa and praised his teammate, Jeremy Doku, for his performance. Doku grabbed an assist and was hailed as “frightening” by Foden, who believes the young winger will only improve under Pep Guardiola’s guidance. Doku showed his immense potential with his pace, trickery, and end product, which had been criticized at times earlier in the season. His return to form was crucial as City recorded a 4-1 victory over Villa.
Doku had previously impressed with a goal and four assists in a game against Bournemouth but had gone off the boil recently due to a muscle problem. His performance against Villa showcased his talent and underlined his importance to the City team. Foden, despite scoring a fantastic hat-trick in the match, chose to highlight Doku’s contribution and growth potential. With Doku operating on the right-wing and causing problems for the opposition, City’s attacking options were enhanced.
Foden discussed City’s position in the Premier League title race, stating that although it is out of their hands, they will continue to put pressure on the teams above them. With Liverpool and Arsenal ahead of them in the race, City need to win every game and hope for the best. Foden expressed confidence in the team’s ability, emphasizing the need to fight until the end and give their all in every match. He acknowledged the depth and talent of the City squad and stressed the importance of every player contributing to their final push.
Arsenal and Liverpool are currently ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table, but City’s remaining fixtures offer them a chance to close the gap. Foden believes that every game is a final for City, and they must approach each match with determination and focus. The young midfielder highlighted the significance of the upcoming games and the need to avoid dropping points. With their talented squad and a fighting spirit, City will aim to give their best until the end of the season.
City’s next matches include challenging fixtures against Crystal Palace, Luton, and Brighton, among others, while Liverpool and Arsenal also face tough opponents in the remaining games. Foden’s comments reflect the team’s commitment to the title race and the belief that they can still compete for the championship. With talented players like Doku stepping up and contributing, City will look to maintain their winning form and put pressure on their rivals in the race for the Premier League title.
