On Tuesday night (10/20), Phil Foden was the star of the show in Manchester City’s match against AEK at Etihad Stadium, with the Citizens securing a convincing 5-1 victory over AEK in the third matchday of the Champions League group stage.
The British attacking midfielder had an incredible night, as he was involved in four of his team’s goals, scoring a hat trick with goals in the 34th minute, the 65th, and the 85th minutes, and he was the one who set up the 3-1 goal for Serki in the 57th minute.
