JAKARTA - Phil Foden's most striking statistics during the Manchester Derby at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, March 3, 2024. Not only Pep Guardiola, a teammate at Manchester City also praised the 23-year-old attacking midfielder's performance.
Foden contributed two goals when Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-1. In addition to the two goals, it turns out that the original assisted player of The Citizens also has another interesting record.
He packed nine shots, 83 passes, five wins of duels, and 11 accurate crosss which made him an important role in City's win.
The slick score made another City player, Kyle Walker, praise with the embedding of a new nickname for Foden.
"We call him 'The Shooter Jitu' because he likes shots. So, when he comes in with his left foot, you know he has the quality and calm to take his place."
"Phil has taken on more responsibility this season. We need an important player like him who can win your game," Walker said.
Foden also continued to grounded despite being flooded with praise. He is still not satisfied and will continue to work hard to bring Manchester City to glory.
"My goal is to appear in a big game. That's what I want to do. This season I think I have done it. I just need to keep working hard," said Foden.
Meanwhile, the Manchester City vs Manchester United match was tight. The host public was silent through Marcus Rashford's goal in the eighth minute.
The goal was enough to make the audience at the Etihad Stadium wary because it lasted until the break.
However, Foden changed the mood of City supporters. He scored the equalizer goal in the 56th minute with a shot from his shot.
It didn't stop there, he put the visitors home with their heads down. Foden turned things around in the 80th minute.
He made Andre Onana pick up the ball from his goal after working well with Julian Alvarez.
Haaland then closed Manchester City's victory in the second half injury time. The Manchester Derby belongs to The Citizens with a 3-1 win.
In addition to defeat, Manchester United were only able to make three shots throughout the match and only one headed for the goal. A far less record than that of Foden one in City.
