Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola welcomed back Kevin de Bruyne for their FA Cup win against Huddersfield.
Foden struck a brace, with Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku also scoring, with an own goal also being registered.
De Bruyne returned after a long-term hamstring injury and Guardiola said: "We are incredibly delighted to have him back because Kevin [de Bruyne] helps to win games. It is so important to have him back after a long injury.
"He will help us with his talent but I don't want to put all the pressure on Kevin's shoulders because it is not fair to him.
"Of course he has a special ability and quality to do something that is difficult to find. We have guys in midfield who love to run. Kevin is exceptional. He is unique. We are really pleased he is back after more than three months with injury. He had a really good assist for the Jeremy Doku goal.
"Really good to have him back."
