Phil Foden equals Cristiano Ronaldo's Premier League landmark in Man City's 4-1 demolition of Aston Villa

Phil Foden now shares a Premier League landmark with Cristiano Ronaldo after his performance in Manchester City's 4-1 win over Aston Villa.

The 23-year-old scored a stunning hat-trick to help lift City level on 67 points with Liverpool, with both teams one point behind frontrunners Arsenal.

Mail Sport's Nathan Salt claimed Foden has to be the league's Footballer of the Year for 2023/24 after he reached 21 goals for this campaign, by far his best total.

Thanks to his mesmeric hat-trick, he has drawn level with Ronaldo, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and others in a special club.
