The Academy graduate beat Michael Keane to Bernardo Silva’s deflected cross, roudning Jordan Pickford to break the home side’s stubborn resistance.
City survived a penalty scare after VAR checked for a handball on Rodrigo, but found in the Spaniard’s favour.
Everton had the better of the chances before the break, when Jonjoe Kenny fired into the side netting and Richarlison sent a golden opportunity straight at Ederson, but City dominated the second period.
Pickford made a string of impressive saves, keeping at Foden’s angled drive and making a superb double save to deny Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo.
It looked as if City might have to settle for a frustrating point, but Foden’s alertness ensured the Premier League leaders got the three points our second half performance deserved.
