Phil Foden inspires Man City to comeback victory as they edge closer to title

Manchester City's Phil Foden celebrates scoring his sides equalising goal to level the score at 1-1 as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa 

A Phil Foden-inspired victory, in a game which ended with both sides reduced to 10 men, left Manchester City needing just eight points to be certain of the Premier League title and allowed Pep Guardiola to concentrate on doing what he does best — winning trophies.

Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Tottenham now beckons, with City comfortable in the table and a chaotic plan to form a breakaway super league consigned to football history’s dustbin.
