Foden leads the way as best young creative player in England after FA Cup win

Phil Foden has further reasserted his credentials as one of the most gifted English players of his generation as he pulled the creative strings in Manchester City's FA Cup victory over Birmingham City on Sunday.

The Three Lions international was at the heart of another convincing performance from Pep Guardiola's side as the Citizens continue to put the shakes from late 2020 behind them with impassive skill in 2021.

The 20-year-old helped set up a Riyad Mahrez assist for one goal and then netted another as the hosts ran out 3-0 winners against their Championship opposition at Etihad Stadium.
