Manchester City put pressure on their Premier League title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool with a strong win over Aston Villa at Etihad Stadium, thanks to an impressive hat-trick from Phil Foden. Despite leaving key players Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne on the bench, City was too much for injury-plagued Villa. The reigning champions were able to overcome the challenges posed by Villa, including the loss of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez due to illness just before kickoff.
Foden led City to victory with a standout performance, scoring 21 goals this season. He regained City’s lead after Villa equalized shortly after Rodri scored the first goal 11 minutes into the game. Foden then extended the lead with two more goals in the second half, sealing his hat-trick in style. Despite being dangerous on the break, Villa was unable to keep up with City’s dominance, which shone through thanks to Foden’s heroics.
