‘Better player’, ‘Meant a lot’: Some Man City fans praise attacker’s display vs Dortmund – originally posted on Sportslens.com

A selection of Manchester City fans were delighted after Phil Foden scored a crucial goal against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last night.

The Cityzens went into the second leg of their quarter-final tie with a 2-1 lead, but conceded early as Jude Bellingham scored in the 15th minute.

This meant that Dortmund had the away goal advantage in the tie. City eventually managed to pull level before the hour mark.

Emre Can’s hand ball led to a penalty conceded by Dortmund. Riyad Mahrez stepped up to unleash a powerful effort past the goalkeeper.

Despite this, the tie was fairly balanced as another goal from the Bundesliga outfit would have taken the game to extra-time.

However, Foden ended Dortmund’s prospects of doing so with a second goal for the Cityzens in the 75th minute.

The 20-year-old’s powerful low strike from outside the box went in at the near post after a deflection off the right-hand upright.

A number of the club’s faithful were delighted for him, and here are some of the reactions on Twitter.

Everyone thought Sancho made the best choice leaving City. Foden was patient and is now the better player in the better team with the better manager and more trophies. pic.twitter.com/dUBPU5XNjd

Ngl I’ve never seen any City player run to Pep when they’ve scored, that Foden goal meant A LOT

He’s only 20-years-old but I’ve watched Phil Foden balling it over two fixtures against Dortmund in the Champions League, Liverpool x2, Chelsea & Arsenal x2 I’m feeling like a proud dad tonight
