The games are back and Manchester City is picking up momentum with another impressive showing in the Premier League care of a 5-0 win over Burnley. Their second-straight victory since the game’s return emphasizes midfielder Phil Foden’s rise to stardom.

While the whole team stepped up for Pep Guardiola’s club, it’s evident that Manchester City has a star in their lineup. The recent performances of Foden have proven to everyone, especially to Guardiola that he deserves a regular spot in the starting lineup. Ever since the resumption of play on the pitch, Foden has been nothing short of phenomenal.

In their opening performance against Arsenal, it was Foden that delivered the dagger, scoring the final goal of the match that sealed the score at 3-0. This was followed up by another impressive performance against Burnley. With the way he was moving on the pitch, coupled with smart passes to his teammates, The Citizens made easy work of their match.

It was an overall drubbing by Man City as Foden managed to score twice in the matchup. Per Goal.com, this performance may just be what he needs to solidify his spot as a main fixture of the team. With Guardiola telling Foden that he has to earn his way to see consistent time from the starting lineup, the past stretch should be enough proof that he is ready for the higher role. Despite having teammates such as David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, Foden has shown that he can keep up with the club’s best.

This shows a bright spot for Manchester City, as they are currently second in the Premier League standings. With a record of 20 wins, three draws and seven losses, having Foden step up as a consistent star will be a welcome asset for the club. In his 63 appearances with the team, he’s scored 11 times and added 10 assists.

It will be vital to see how Manchester City moves forward with their lineup and if they’ll set Foden as a starter. Expectations are high for the organization and it’ll be important for them to continue the rest of the campaign on a strong note.
