Man City fans hail 'title-saver' Phil Foden after late Everton winner

Phil Foden is the focus of Manchester City fans' praises once again after his 82nd-minute match-winning strike against Everton.

The England star capitalised on a Michael Keane mistake to find the net for the tenth time this season.

The 21-year-old has consequently come in for some high praise from club followers, many sharing their delight on social media.

@DeveshBohra6: Wonder boy.

@HrieedayPitale: Title saver goal!

@mxnxl_: Cannot explain the feeling.

@e11isBK: Huge starboy stuff, that's what champs do.

@ShaunyBrian: Foden is everything they thought Jack Wilshere was going to be.

@Antzharris10: YESSSSSSS! Cityyyyyyy! Phil Walter Foden. I love you! Enjoy your night, blues!

@tom86449271: Oh Phil Foden you beauty.

@bottlecapsibaya: Foden is elite.

The result means City are six points clear at the summit of the table having played a game more than Liverpool, who do not play this weekend due to being in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Fans recognised the significance of the smash-and-grab three points with the season run-in not far off.

@bahadur18856744: We're little bit lucky this time. We don't really play that good and still winning.

@minksfooty: Squeaked a win. BIG improvements needed.

@Mcfchonest: That was hard on my heart. Don’t do it again.

@ChizzyBrian_: Awkward win but we’ll take it. Still a lot to improve on our movements inside the box but as always.

@Ronspero22: It wasn’t pretty but three points! Great teams find a way to win!

City are now 13 league away games unbeaten having not lost since the 1-0 loss to Tottenham on the opening day of the season.
