Jack Harrison’s goal had the hosts ahead at the interval, before Foden levelled eight minutes after the break, with a powerful strike from 25 yards.
Julian Alvarez completed the combeack from the penalty spot, before Bernardo Silva’s curling effort secured the points.
Foden, who was named Man of the Match after a scintillating display, was delighted with the manner of the victory and with his personal input in the outcome.
“I thought we played well in the first half, it seemed to be the same story as the previous games. The manager told us to keep believing. We haven’t got this gold badge for no reason,” he said.
“We have to believe in ourselves because we’re a top team. In the second half, wow, I think we blew them away with how we played.
“We have to praise Everton too as they did well, they’re a good side and made it difficult. Really happy with the result at a difficult place to come.
“Maybe I caught him [Jordan Pickford] by surprise because I hit it so quickly, I’ll have to see it back it happened so quickly. I was just delighted to see it hit the back of the net.
“We needed that goal for momentum, then we blew them away and played tremendous football so I’m really happy.
“You know how much I like playing in the middle. Thanks to the manager he keeps playing me in there at the moment and long may it continue because I enjoy it every time I play in there.”

Foden also reserved special praise for teammate Bernardo, who expertly found the top corner for our third goal of the evening, and after moving back into the top four in the league table, the Englishman is looking to welcome back some of the sidelined players in the second half of the season.
“He’s a tremendous footballer, one of the best I’ve seen,” he declared.
“He’s not the biggest or strongest, but the way he uses his brain in the game, he’s someone I always try to learn off. He’s so important for us.
“We’ve got massive players to come back in. Erling [Haaland], Jeremy [Doku], Kevin [De Bruyne]. When they come back hopefully it’ll make the team stronger.
“We need them at the moment because we’re a bit short at the moment. I’m looking forward to when they come back.”
