The reason behind Phil Foden’s celebration is now clear.
Last month, Foden introduced a unique celebration following his hat-trick in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Brentford. After scoring, he knelt on the turf and mimicked a gun with his hands.
In Sunday’s derby against Manchester United, Foden’s two goals secured the victory, and once again, he performed his trademark celebration.
In a recent speech, Foden explained the significance of the gesture, stating it’s a playful reference to his reputation as a sharpshooter in five-a-side games with his friends.
After the win over United, Kyle Walker referred to Foden as “the sniper” due to his penchant for shooting. Gary Neville praised Foden’s composure and skill, highlighting his importance to City’s title hopes.
Looking ahead, Neville emphasized the significance of City’s victory in the title race, with crucial matches against Arsenal and Liverpool looming. Micah Richards praised City’s dominance and noted the upcoming clash with Liverpool as a pivotal moment in the championship race.
