Man City players buzzing for Cup win - Foden

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden was happy scoring twice in their FA Cup win against Huddersfield.

Foden struck a brace, with Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku also scoring, with an own goal also being registered.

“We're all buzzing with result," said Foden. "It was a bit difficult to break them down. The first goal I scored was important, then we had more rhythm and we took our chances well.

"Delighted with he result, not an easy sided when they give everything to beat us but I thought the way we handled ourselves, didn't get impatient, carried on playing our football – we're delighted with the result.

“The team handles it well. We seem to come against a low block quite often. We know what to expect, we just need to be patient, find the spaces and keep switching and hopefully they'll open up and get tired. We attacked at the right time and aggressively so it's a great result.

"I'm enjoying my football at the moment, being in the pockets and in between the lines. It's where I want to be, I need to keep helping the team with goals and assists and be that decisive player. I'm trying to do that every game."

On his first goal, he said: “I picked up ball in tight area and thought I'd just put my laces through it and delighted to see it hit back of net.

On his second, Foden added: “It was a nice little flick off Kova to find me, just passed it in the corner and I'm delighted to see that one go in as well.
