Foden shines like a star as he bags hat-trick in dramatic Man City comeback against Brentford
Phil Foden’s stunning hat-trick led Manchester City to a comeback victory against Brentford, trailing just two points behind Premier League leaders
Despite Brentford taking an early lead through Neal Maupay, Foden’s heroics secured the crucial win for the reigning champions.
Foden’s performance was especially remarkable given the presence of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in the City lineup for the first time since August last year.
Meanwhile, the match marked the highest-scoring round of ten Premier League matches in history, with a total of 45 goals.
While City are still chasing Liverpool at the top of the table, they have a game in hand, which could prove crucial for them in the title race.
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.

On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
