Foden shines as City beat Brentford to go eight points clear
Phil Foden marked his return to the Manchester City side by scoring the only goal as Pep Guardiola’s side opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Brentford.
Foden hadn’t started since Guardiola had warned his players about their off-field behaviour after both he and Jack Grealish were reportedly pictured in a nightclub and then dropped for the clash at Newcastle.
But he was vibrant throughout a tight contest at the Brentford Community Stadium, and struck the crucial blow on 16 minutes as he met Kevin De Bruyne’s cross to tuck home from close range, and survive a VAR review for offside.
