Kevin De Bruyne said Phil Foden’s form has “kept him on his toes” after scoring twice in a 4-2 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday to bring up his century of goals for Manchester City. 

“Today Kevin won the game with his actions, goals, assists, his talent,” said Pep Guardiola. “Today we won [because of] him.” Foden shone in a central role as De Bruyne sat out the first five months of the season with a hamstring injury and hit a hat-trick with the Belgian on the bench for Wednesday’s 4-1 thrashing of Aston Villa.
