Philip Foden, a midfielder for Manchester City, has been referred to as “God” by Liam Gallagher, following his incredible performance for the Blues in their match against Manchester United.

The incredible opening goal scored by Marcus Rashford in the eighth minute put City in a position where they were trailing by one goal at the break. Nevertheless, Foden proved to be the game-changer for Pep Guardiola’s squad after the halftime break, turning the tide of the match in their favour.

It was eleven minutes after the restart when he delivered his first goal, which was a strike that went beyond Andre Onana’s despairing dive. Ten minutes from the end of the game, the 23-year-old player scored his second goal by finishing off a well-executed sequence of play and putting the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

The three points were earned by Erling Haaland in the final minute of stoppage time, when he took advantage of some careless play at the back to secure the bragging rights. It was Foden who would be the one to steal the headlines on the back page as he encouraged the Blues to victory, despite the fact that the Norwegian ended up having the final word.

This was not missed on the former frontman of Oasis, who tweeted, “Phil Foden is GOD.” His impact to the outcome was not overlooked. Gallagher provided an explanation for why he had not been attending City matches in person as frequently as he used to in an interview that was conducted exclusively for the MEN on Sunday.

“It’s too f***ing mad, so I watch it at home instead,” he said before adding on to the title competition, saying, “I think it’s going to be tight this year man, but City always come good at the end so we’ll see.”

“I tell you who aren’t going to f***ing win it, the other ones [United].” The victory brings City to within one point of Liverpool in advance of the crucial match that will take place at Anfield on the following Sunday.
