LONDON (Reuters) - Phil Foden's first Premier League goal ensured Manchester City edged past Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Saturday to return to the top of the Premier League and avenge their Champions League elimination by Mauricio Pochettino's side. City struck early when Foden headed home on five minutes after a clever ball back across goal from Sergio Aguero. "It's my first Premier League goal so it will live with me forever," said Foden, who admitted he was surprised to be given the chance to start such a vital game. COSTLY DEFEATDefeat may prove costly for third-placed Spurs who are struggling to hang on to their top-four place. Perez sealed the points late on to become the first Newcastle player to score a Premier League hat-trick since 2015.
