He scored in each half at the Etihad Stadium, with star striker Erling Haaland smashing home his 27th of the season in between. Substitute Rayan Cherki got the other after Waldemar Anton scored for Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>Tuchel is set to announce his squad on Friday for the final World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, with England having already secured qualification.<\/p>\n<p>Foden has rediscovered some of his best form this season after enduring a frustrating campaign last term as City relinquished the Premier League title. His goals on Tuesday \u2013 both swept low into the bottom corner \u2013 took his tally on the season to four and could have come at just the right time to capture Tuchel\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no person in this country or around the world that doesn\u2019t know his quality and ability, but England is so lucky to have this amount of good players,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cIn his position there are a lot, and that\u2019s why he has to push himself to be better and better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foden\u2019s omission from England\u2019s four games this season has been a talking point, with players like Eberechi Eze, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon all adding to the competition for places.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being widely regarded as one of the most gifted English players of his generation, Foden is still to consistently perform for England.<\/p>\n<p>And it appears he is yet to convince Tuchel after being given chances in the German\u2019s first games in charge earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThomas is so smart and wise and knows exactly what the team needs,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cI think Thomas knows perfectly [about] Phil. What Phil wants to do is play better and better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4088328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4088328\" style=\"width:770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-arc-image-770 wp-image-4088328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2025-11-05T212242Z_129939312_UP1ELB51NDTL9_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-CHAMPIONS-MCI-BVB-1762400836.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C459&amp;quality=80\" alt=\"Phil Foden in action.\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4088328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Foden, right, scores Manchester City\u2019s third goal in the 57th minute [Phil Noble\/Reuters]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"haaland-achieves-new-goal-record\">Haaland achieves new goal record<\/h2>\n<p>Haaland set another scoring benchmark in the Champions League after finding the back of the net for the fifth consecutive game for City in European club football\u2019s elite club tournament.<\/p>\n<p>According to City, he is the first player to achieve that feat with three different teams, having previously done so with former clubs RB Salzburg and Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>His latest goal \u2013 a powerfully struck effort from close range \u2013 was his 54th in 52 games in the Champions League.
