\nLONDON:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phil Foden said he is in his best form for some time after scoring a hat-trick to help Manchester City up to second in the Premier League with a 3-1 win at Brentford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The England international has now netted 14 times this season and is enjoying playing more centrally than he has in the past under Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n

“Really delighted with my performances, delighted with the way I’m playing,” Foden told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

“Playing more inside, where I want to play, as well. (It is the) best form I’ve had in a City shirt for a long time, consistently.”<\/p>\n

Victory took City to within two points of leaders Liverpool <\/a>and with a game in hand to come.<\/p>\n

The English champions became the first Premier League <\/a>side to win four consecutive away games despite falling behind in all of them.<\/p>\n

Neal Maupay opened the scoring for Brentford against the run of play, but City<\/a>‘s pressure finally paid off when Foden slotted home in first-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Foden then headed in Kevin De Bruyne’s cross to turn the game around and completed his second career hat-trick 20 minutes from time from Erling Haaland’s pass.<\/p>\n

“We stayed calm. We are a team that trust our ability, we had to remain patient,” added Foden.<\/p>\n

“Throughout we deserved the win, had a lot of chances and dominated the ball.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
