Fans unhappy with star after Tottenham shocks Manchester City in the EFL Cup

Fans of Manchester City turned to social media to voice their dismay with Phil Foden's performance in the October 30 EFL Cup Round of 16 game against Tottenham Hotspur. With a 2-1 home score, Tottenham came out triumphant and guaranteed their spot in the following round.

In the fifth minute Timo Werner scored for Tottenham; Pape Matar Sarr then scored a second goal in the 25th minute. Matheus Nunes scored one for Manchester City immediately before halftime (45'+4'). It was not enough to reverse the outcome though.

Acting as a false nine, Foden battled to have an influence in the last third. He barely completed 12 of his 16 passes and missed a shot on target, so producing a meagre 75% accuracy rate. He also lost possession eight times and Bernardo Silva replaced him in the 58th minute.

So far for Pep Guardiola's team, Phil Foden has had a quiet season. The 24-year-old has only scored two goals and two assists across 11 outings in different contests, less than the effect supporters and the club had hoped for.
