The 23-year-old has broken through the 20-goal barrier this season, finding the target on 21 occasions across all competitions. He continues to post personal bests that are seeing him become a talismanic presence for club and country.
DID YOU KNOW?
Foden now has three Premier League hat-tricks on his personal CV, with match balls previously picked up against Manchester United in October 2022 and Brentford just a few weeks ago in February. That haul means he now sits level with United legend Ronaldo and Chelsea greats Lampard and Didier Drogba.
WHAT NEXT?
Among the other players to have recorded three Premier League trebles are Emmanuel Adebayor, Nicolas Anelka, Robbie Keane, Romelu Lukaku and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. City icon Sergio Aguero is the all-time leading marksman in that department, with 12 match balls in his collection.
