Why this Man City star is a better footballer than Lampard

Former Manchester United star, Paul Scholes has claimed Manchester City’s Phil Foden has gotten to a stage where he can be deemed a ‘much better footballer’ than Chelsea legend Frank Lampard based on pure talent.

Scholes said this while reacting to Foden’s impressive performance in Manchester City’s Premier League 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

Foden scored a brace to hand three points to the Citizens against Man United at Etihad.

His teammate Erling Haaland also made it to the score sheet.

“Look, he is a better footballer than Frank Lampard but Frank Lampard scored goals and won leagues for his club from midfield,” Scholes told Premier League Productions

“Look, Phil Foden is a much better footballer than Frank Lampard was, don’t get me wrong, but Frank won leagues for his team because of the contribution he made in midfield, in big games especially, and with Phil Foden I think we are seeing the same type of thing.”
