Man City midfielder Foden: Secret behind Kompany screamer

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has revealed Vincent Kompany had been taking part in shooting drills ahead of his winner against Leicester City.

Foden started against Leicester but was actually sitting on the bench when Kompany struck the remarkable long-range goal that gave City victory.

"It's funny because recently we have been doing a bit of shooting at the end of training and Vinny has suddenly decided to join in," Foden told the Daily Mail.

"He has got a bit, to be fair. He can hit "top bins" a few times so maybe that practice came in to play. It was made for him to score wasn't it? He is always there in the big moments showing his class.

"I saw the ball hit the top of the net. I was like, 'Wow, did I just dream that?'

"It was such a special goal and the most important of the year."
