"It was the England playmaker's first start since March and the 25-year-old has already done his best to ensure he keeps hold of the shirt ahead of City's final two games after this."
"Foden grabbed another assist moments later went he delightfully brought down the ball into the path of Omar Marmous, who turned and found the net to put the hosts in control as they continue to keep the pressure on Arsenal at the summit."
"Man City are continuing to chase down Arsenal in the Premier League title race and it was a nervy opening by the hosts with little chances, but a wonderful piece of skill needed to unlock the Eagles defence."
Phil Foden produced a backheel skill to unlock Crystal Palace’s defense and set up Antoine Semenyo for the opening goal. The match began nervously for Manchester City, with few early chances, but Foden’s technique created the decisive breakthrough. Receiving a pass from Matheus Nunes with his back to goal near the box, Foden spotted Semenyo’s run and threaded the ball through using a backheel past three defenders. Semenyo then finished past Dean Henderson. It was Foden’s first start since March, and he also provided another assist shortly after, controlling the ball for Omar Marmous to score. The result kept City applying pressure in the Premier League title race.
