Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Foden said of City’s 3-1 comeback win at Brentford: “We stayed calm, we’re a team that trusts our ability, there are going to be ups and downs in football. We were playing well even when we were 1-0 down, we had to remain patient. We controlled the game which is the main thing and created a lot of chances which was nice to see.”
On his personal form this season, he said: “I’m really delighted with my performances at the moment. I’m playing a lot of minutes now, more inside which is where I want to be. I’m delighted with how I’m playing. It’s probably the best form I’ve had in a City shirt for a long time and long may that continue. Keep working hard on the training pitch and try and get better.”
