Ipswich Town are pleased to see Foden happy and enjoying the game again

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola heaped praise on England midfielder Phil Foden who scored twice in his team's 6-0 win over Ipswich Town.

Foden performed well in the game and helped the team return to the top four of the Premier League. The Premier League Player of the Year last season had previously performed mediocrely and failed to help Manchester City out of the slump. However, Foden, who has scored five goals in the last three Premier League games, seems to have found his best form.

After the game, Guardiola talked about his favorite player and said: "We have talked a lot in the past month. He is completely different from the beginning of the season. He has experienced some problems, but they are human beings and they will have lows. This is normal."

"We are happy to see him happy and enjoying the game again, which is great news for all of us."

Earlier this season, Foden was in a slump and only scored one goal in the 2024-25 season. But with his recent recovery, he has scored five goals in three Premier League games. However, he is still a long way from his brilliant data of 19 goals and 8 assists last season. The past six months have been ups and downs for Foden. He performed poorly in the European Cup, was given a vacation by Manchester City at the beginning of the season, and failed to quickly regain his form after returning.

Next up, Foden will travel with City to the Parc des Princes in Paris to take on Paris Saint-Germain in a crucial Champions League knockout match as City look to secure qualification in the French capital.

In addition, Manchester City will face Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend, which is also a focus of the battle for the top four. Foden's continued hot form will be crucial to Manchester City's future games.
