Joleon Lescott praises Phil Foden's amazing hat-trick against Brentford, highlighting how it proves Foden is now a standout, game-changing talent for City. Foden's three goals led to an impressive 3-1 win in the Premier League, marking his second career hat-trick.
This achievement also pushed his total club goals to 74, putting him on par with Carlos Tevez and placing him among City's all-time top 10 scorers.
Quoted by Mancity.com, Lescott: "He’s a match winner and I think he’s one of the few players that can decide a game on his own."
"We see Kevin De Bruyne [can change games] with a pass but there is someone on the end of that pass. Whereas with Phil he can go: 'I’m going to take this game by the scruff of the neck' and his individual brilliance will allow him to be man-of-the-match."
"And when you think about his age and the stats that he is accumulating now, I believe he can go to become the most decorated English player of all time."
"At 23 [if City become champions again this season] it would be a sixth Premier League title for him. And with [potential] FA Cups, Champions League, League Cups, he could be one of the greatest if not the greatest."
Lescott added: "I think the manner with which he takes his goals tells you that he’s matured and given his age he’s only going to go on and do even greater things."
