Kevin De Bruyne has expressed his belief that Phil Foden has significantly improved this season, as the talented midfielder scored two goals in Manchester City’s impressive 4-0 victory over Brighton.
Foden’s brace took his total goal tally for the season to 24 across all competitions, showcasing his remarkable progress. With this win, City has ominously narrowed the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal, making their title pursuit even more formidable.
