Foden: Our Goal is to Continue Pressuring Arsenal, The Most Important Thing Was the Three Points

Manchester City star Phil Foden appeared in a press statement after the 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the rescheduled match of the 31st round of the English Premier League, held at the Etihad Stadium.

The player said: "It is extremely important at this stage of the season for new players to join us, especially the return of Gvardiol after a long absence. We were all excited to play and were fully prepared. It is a decisive match, we must win it, so we are very happy."

Regarding his assist to Semenyo: "I reviewed the situation several times before receiving the ball, and I saw Semenyo making good movements. Sometimes attempts are not successful. Sometimes the risk is worth taking, and I am very happy that it worked and we scored a goal from it. I am thrilled to contribute to a goal and help the team secure the three points, which is the most important thing."

He elaborated on his season: "I can say that I had a good half-season, the first half, then my performance declined a bit, and after that, I struggled to find my place in the team. This happens when you have outstanding players around you who are more efficient than you, so I had to wait, be patient, and train as hard as I could. When your opportunity comes, you have to seize it."

Regarding the title race: "In the end, it's a team game. If you want to win titles and championships, you have to involve all the players in the team and ensure each one performs their role to the fullest."

He concluded: "The goal is to keep the pressure on Arsenal and urge them to do their utmost. We've seen how things can change in the final round. I've experienced it many times when the match doesn't go as we hope. We just have to keep the pressure on and perform our duty to the fullest."
