• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 23-year-old has broken through the 20-goal barrier this season, finding the target on 21 occasions across all competitions. He continues to post personal bests that are seeing him become a talismanic presence for club and country.

  Foden now has three Premier League hat-tricks on his personal CV, with match balls previously picked up against Manchester United in October 2022 and Brentford just a few weeks ago in February.
