Phil Foden made his 50th appearance for Manchester City in Zagreb on Wednesday night and capped off his evening with a goal six minutes from time. The 19-year-old was handed a rare start by Pep Guardiola with City having already qualified as group winners regardless of the result.

The majority of the club’s supporters have been desperate to see more of Foden and have been calling for him to start in the Premier League. His impressive performance versus Dinamo has strengthened his case and in the aftermath, a flurry of praise has come his way.

Has Phil Foden earned himself a starting place versus Arsenal?

Yes

What do we think?

Gabriel Jesus aside, Phil Foden was the best player on the pitch. According to WhoScored.com, his performance rating was 9.5/10 second only to the Brazilian who scored a hat-trick and received a score of 9.6/10.

The young Englishman, who is valued at £27m by TransferMarkt.co.uk, was presented with an opportunity to impress his boss and he grabbed it with both hands. City ran out comfortable winners in the end despite having gone behind and with a trip to Arsenal coming up this Sunday, Foden has given Guardiola something to think about.
