MANCHESTER, England — Watching Manchester City’s Champions League slugfest against Tottenham, Phil Foden sensed his side’s energy-sapping exit could present an opportunity.
When it came on Saturday against Tottenham — completing a trilogy of matches against the north London club since April 9 — Foden scored his first Premier League goal on only his second start. Bernardo Silva was the architect of the goal, sending in a cross that Sergio Aguero nodded across the face of goal and Foden directed a powerful diving header into the net.In a squad transformed by Abu Dhabi wealth over 11 years, Foden is a connection with Manchester as the only locally born player in the lineup on Saturday after not even making the squad in the European game against Tottenham three days earlier.
City’s quest for a first European Cup was ended by Tottenham, which lost 4-3 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday but advanced on away goals with a 4-4 aggregate score. “It is in our hands to be in the Champions League next season,” Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said. “Now it’s about trying to be strong and recovering the energy.”Ayoze Perez’s hat trick all but guaranteed Newcastle will remain in the Premier League next season after securing a 3-1 victory over Southampton.
Gerard Deulofeu scored twice to give Watford a 2-1 win at already relegated Huddersfield. Watford’s sixth win on the road this season kept the seventh-place team on course for its highest Premier League finish.Brighton frustrated Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 0-0 draw to gain a key point in its scrap with Cardiff to avoid relegation.
