Foden’s incredible record at Brentford

Phil Foden has scored all six of City’s goals at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium.
The England international has been one of the Premier League's outstanding players for several years now, but there’s something about this particular patch of west London that truly brings out the best in him.
With the Blues set to return to Brentford for a 16:30 (UK) this Sunday, Foden will be hoping to continue his promising recent form at one of his favourite grounds.
After a difficult 2024/25, the 25-year-old has been a shining light in our start to the current campaign.
He’s scored twice and provided two assists so far as our season builds momentum.
Foden’s first league game at Brentford and City’s first since 1951 came in December 2021 as our hunt for a fourth title under Pep Guardiola gathered pace.
His deft 16th-minute finish proved the only goal in a festive battle.
Sporting peroxide blonde hair, Foden ghosted behind the defence and with one flick of his left ankle, turned a Kevin De Bruyne cross home.
That victory put us eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table around the halfway mark.
Where that was one moment of brilliance, February 2024 brought three.
Coming after a May 2023 defeat once City had already sealed the league title, the 2023/24 trip to Brentford was a truly memorable one.
He claimed his second City hat-trick as part of a special run of form that eventually earned him the Premier League Player of the Season award.
With City somehow 1-0 down despite dominating early proceedings, he reacted quickest to a loose ball before wrongfooting goalkeeper Mark Flekken from 12 yards.
The second came by breezing into the box and glancing a delicious De Bruyne cross with his head in off the far post.
He made the points safe with perhaps the best of the lot, linking up with Erling Haaland and driving into space to slide the ball home.
Even in the midst of a 2024/25 season that Foden wants to move on from, our Academy graduate still managed to put in a sparkling display at Brentford.
He grabbed the opener by again meeting a De Bruyne cross, this time sprinting on to it and touching it in off the far post.
The second was a poacher’s dream, following up a saved Savinho effort to rifle home under Flekken.
We couldn’t hold on to the three points that night, but Foden’s six goals in those three games at the Gtech must have Brentford fans sick of the sight of our No.47.
