# Manchester City: Fans laud Phil Foden following epic Dinamo Zagreb display

**Manchester City sailed through to the Champions League knockout rounds [long before](https://sport.bt.com/football/champions-league-permutations-which-teams-have-already-qualified-who-else-can-reach-the-last-16-and-which-clubs-look-set-for-the-europa-league-S11364411715847) their [4-1 away demolition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8GMxlTFpBk&feature=onebox) of Dinamo Zagreb – but supporters are still in absolute awe over Phil Foden’s performance following a brilliant display.**

Foden, who has long been tipped by supporters to [start more games](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-city-fans-want-phil-foden-as-david-silva-replacement/) in the Premier League, played a crucial role in their brilliant victory away to Dinamo – including [scoring the fourth goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8GMxlTFpBk&feature=onebox) and his second in two games against the Croatian champions.

Gabriel Jesus’ hat-trick, along with the Englishman’s strike, ensured a correct response to last weekend’s [Manchester derby defeat](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50611309) after Dani Olmo originally gave Dinamo the lead with a sumptuous volley.

Pep Guardiola’s Sky Blues travel to Arsenal next in the league, hoping to better their current run of form which includes [four losses already](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) – equalling their number of defeats for the entirety of their domestic quadruple-winning campaign.

Here’s how supporters lauded Foden’s performance in a crucial win.
