EPL: He has goals in his veins – Guardiola hails Man City midfielder

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has hailed Phil Foden’s incredible gift for scoring goals.

Foden scored a sublime hat-trick as City thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 on Wednesday night.

With the team’s league-leading scorer Erling Haaland an unused substitute, the England midfielder stepped up for the Premier League champions.

“His work ethic is amazing. He plays in central positions and has an incredible sense of goal — he has goals in his veins and we have to use him,” Guardiola said.

“He has a natural talent, a gift that is special.”

He added: “He can do whatever he wants. He is a really top-class player, we know it.”
