Phil Foden returned to Manchester City action with a bang as he grabbed a goal against Slovan Bratislava to help Manchester City move into a 2-0 lead against the Slovakian side.
After İlkay Gündoğan opened the scoring, the England star got in on the act, finding the bottom corner from 13 yards out and putting his side on course for a comfortable win.
In doing so, Foden moved into Manchester City’s top five all-time Champions League goalscorers, level with Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne.
Additionally, he became just the fourth player to score in each of the last seven UCL campaigns, alongside Robert Lewandowski and French pair Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann.
