'The future' - Man City fans rave about Phil Foden after brace in Burnley rout

Manchester City fans have been left starstruck by Phil Foden's performance last night.

Foden started against Burnley and put in an electric display from midfield, netting twice in the 5-0 home win.

The 20-year-old's brace means it is four goals and seven assists from just 12 starts for Man City this season.

And unsurprisingly, Foden is attracting plenty of praise for his 79-minute display with supporters singing his praises.

Here is how fans have reacted on social media:

Former City defender Micah Richards praised Foden's first goal, a stunning strike from outside the area.

“It was absolutely brilliant," he said on Sky Sports. "I mentioned Phil Foden before the game, he’s so good and he just needs to get the opportunities that he needs.

"He pops up in those areas, there’s no use being out on the wing, he gets into the central positions and that boy can produce.

"I love watching him and I really hope that next season he can nail down his place in this team.”

Foden has made 27 appearances across all competitions this season for City, but has only featured in a combined minute total of just over 1100.
