Manchester City ‘shocked and appalled’ by insults
The situation then escalated further, a man from Foden’s environment grabbed a fire extinguisher and wanted to attack the group with it. The provocateurs then fled. “The club are aware of a video circulating on social media showing Phil Foden and his family being harassed and verbally abused,” Man City later said.
The club was “shocked and appalled” by the insults against Foden and his family. In addition, the club assured all possible support. The police were reportedly informed of the incident, but it was initially unclear whether an investigation would take place.
A few hours earlier, ManCity had suffered their first league defeat since October. Foden was on the pitch for the entire game.
