England forward Phil Foden says his club’s hope for another Premier League title is over after Manchester City had a 2-2 draw against Brentford. City currently boasts of four consecutive league titles.
The England international netted a double that placed Manchester City in a strong position, but they could not keep up with the win after a goal each from Yoane Wissa and Christian Nørgaard helped Brentford to achieve a draw against City at home.
Manchester City currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League table, and they are 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool, which caused Folden to agree that they can still hope for the top four instead of winning the league title for the fifth time.
Manchester City, with 35 points, sits two points behind Chelsea in the race to end the league in the top four.
Folden, in his words, emphasized that the team is doing its best to learn from its unfortunate decline, which comes as a rude surprise after they had dominated six of their last seven seasons. They are also awaiting to play against French side Paris Saint-Germain in their next Champions League on January 22, where their place in the last 16 is still unclear.
“It’s a learning curve, and it’s just about how you get back to your best, not just me, but the team as well. And how we come back from this,” Foden said.
