Foden stars to inspire Man City win as Ryan Mason gets debut win as Spurs interim boss. -

Foden scored for City and played a major role as the Manchester side won away from home.

John McGinn opened the scoring 20 seconds into the first half but Foden leveled matters after a brilliant move by his side to inspire a comeback and move 11 points clear of rivals Man united.

“He is growing, this guy is growing,” Pep said after the game.

“He’s making steps forward every time. His influence in our game is massive right now.

He’s so aggressive without the ball. He’s becoming a serious player”.

“Phil, right now, in the last games especially, is becoming such an important player.

His influence in the final third is so important.” the Man City boss was full of praise for his star player.

Only Kevin De Bruyne (24) has been directly involved in more goals in all competitions for Man City this season than Phil Foden (23 – 14 goals, 9 assists).

No player has scored more goals in all competitions before turning 21 for Pep Guardiola than Manchester City’s Phil Foden (29 – level with Bojan).

John Stones was sent off a minute before halftime but Cash balanced things up 13 minutes into the second half with two bookable offenses in one minute.

“That is disappointing and then the sending off is stupid and reckless from Cash.

I thought the first yellow was harsh but the second was stupid and reckless.

You won’t have a better chance than when 10 against 11 against Man City.”, Smith said in his post match interview.

Ryan Mason’s Spurs begin life after Mourinho with an important win.

Spurs were looking to get back to winning with their new boss, Ryan Mason.

Danny Ings scored for the Saints in the first half before Bale’s fine finish and Son’s penalty inspired a comeback, their first this season when trailing at half-time.

Spurs now sit 6th level on points with Liverpool, 3 points behind third place Leicester that host West Brom tonight and just 2 points behind 4th place Chelsea.

“I’ll be honest, I said this all along, I really can’t have an opinion on it, because in the last 48 hours, I’m sure you can respect the fact that my mind, my energy has been fully involved in this game, in preparing for this game,” said when asked about the European Super League.

He added that his main focus is on improving his side as they face Man City in the EFL cup finals this Sunday.
