After Kevin De Bruyne broke the deadlock with a superb header on 17 minutes, the England international racked up his half century in the top flight with a free-kick which found the net via a deflection.
During a scintillating first-half display by the visitors in East Sussex, our Academy graduate then raised his tally to 51 league goals and extended our lead further with a precise, fizzing effort.
It’s the latest highlight in the 23-year-old’s superb season so far and an immense source of pride for Foden.
“It’s a great milestone to reach,” he declared.
“I’m really delighted at the moment with the position I’m playing and I keep finding the back of the net for the team.
“I keep wanting to trying to do that because when I find the net we seem to go and win games.
“I’m delighted with the way we’re playing and there are six matches left, so six more finals to go and I just want to help the team.
“I’m delighted to see the team win today and help with two goals.”
