In the 16th round of the English Premier League, "Manchester City," which is fiercely competing for the championship, delivered a convincing performance against "Crystal Palace" in an away match. "The Citizens" scored three unanswered goals and secured another crucial three points.
During the match, Erling Haaland once again demonstrated his top-class abilities. The Norwegian striker scored two goals, becoming the main hero of the team. Additionally, Phil Foden, who has been standing out with his efficiency in recent games, extended the scoreline and contributed to the victory.
However, an unexpected situation occurred after the game. Despite scoring a goal, it was Foden who faced criticism from the head coach, Josep Guardiola. The Spanish manager openly pointed out certain shortcomings in the player's performance.
— Today, Foden did not play at his highest level. He lost the ball several times and acted hastily in some situations. He needs to perform with more composure, control the ball better, and increase his speed when necessary, — said Guardiola.
At the same time, the coach acknowledged Foden's efforts for the team. He noted that the midfielder brings significant benefits to "Manchester City's" overall play and added that even better performances lie ahead for him.
For reference, Phil Foden has appeared in 14 matches in the English Premier League this season, increasing his goal tally to seven. This statistic makes him one of the most effective players on the team.
