Just as it appeared that Aston Villa were getting a decent foothold in their game against Man City, Phil Foden popped up with a magnificent free-kick to put them into a 2-1 lead.
Rodri had opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola’s side but they were soon pegged back by a fantastic finish from Jhon Duran.
Unai Emery’s side were holding their own but gave away a silly foul just outside the box.
Unfortunately for Villa, their wall parted with ease and Foden’s piledriver sailed straight through it and into the net.
Emery’s fury was clear as TV cameras picked up his reaction.
Phil Foden. What a player! ?
That's 1?9? goals this season for the Englishman! ?

Very poor from Villa and gifting goals to Man City unforgivable.
Disappointing and now essential that we bounce back or our season could easily go down the drain
