Aymeric Laporte praised one of his former Manchester City teammates after his scintillating showing against Aston Villa.
As City dispatched Villa 4-1 on Wednesday, it came as no surprise that Phil Foden became the talk of the town
The Englishman scored a hat-trick worth applauding, with Ally McCoist comparing him to the one and only Paul Gascoigne.
With all eyes on which player would step up for Pep Guardiola’s men against Unai Emery’s side, Phil Foden certainly did so.
In emphatic fashion as a number 10 once again, which will likely prompt discourse around Gareth Southgate deploying him in his natural position at Euro 2024 after his masterclass against Villa.
However, as exceptional as the 23-year-old was, he was not the only City player who impressed against the Villains.
