Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with their 3-1 win at Brentford on Monday night.
Neal Maupay had the Bees ahead before Foden took over with his treble.
Guardiola later said: "We had a lot of chances. The keeper was sensational. They are so dangerous from set plays, they are an incredible team in that concept. They press really high. The spaces in the pockets in these types of games are really important."
On Foden, he continued: "He has played a lot of games, he is a guy that plays different positions and has the ability in spaces and the centre of goal because he likes to arrive in the box.
"They [Brentford] are so deep, spaces are difficult so to have a player moving in these spaces is so important.
"He loves moving in the 18-yard box and he is playing his best season since we are together."
