Harry Kane doubled the lead in the second half, finishing off a flowing team move in which Foden was an integral part.
The 23-year-old has scored just four goals since making his debut in 2020 and a place in Southgate’s starting XI is still not guaranteed, with Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka often preferred on the right side of the attack.
“I always want more for myself, I think I can add goals to this team – and assists,” Foden told beIN Sports.
“I was involved in both of the goals (against Malta), maybe we weren’t at our best but we got the job done in the end and that’s the most important thing.
“I’m enjoying my football a lot at the moment, I’m expressing myself, I’m playing really well. So yeah, I need to keep that up, keep pushing mys…
Sepp Blatter has been handed a new ban from football of six years and eight months, FIFA has announced.
Disgraced former FIFA president Blatter was originally banned for eight years, reduced to six, in 2015 over breaches relating to a disloyal payment to ex-UEFA chief Michel Platini.
That suspension is up in October of this year, although the 85-year-old will now be barred from all football activities for a further eight years due to various violations of FIFA s code of ethics.
Jerome Valcke, the former FIFA general secretary who is banned from football until October 2025, has been given the same punishment on those grounds.
Both men have also been fined 1million Swiss francs (€900,000/$1.1m).
A statement issued by FIFA read: The investigations…
Roberto Firmino may miss a third straight game through injury as Liverpool prepare to face Wolves on Monday.
Firmino has missed Liverpool s last two games defeat to Fulham and victory over RB Leipzig with a knock.
He will be assessed ahead of the meeting at Molineux, with the Reds out to arrest a slide in form that has significantly dented their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
Liverpool have lost six of their last seven games in the Premier League and have suffered defeat in a club-record six consecutive home league games.
That run left them seven points adrift of the top four going into Saturday s fixtures, with winning the Champions League looking like their best shot of qualifying for next season s competition after their last-16 triump…

Suffering Premier League title heartbreak last season after failing at the final hurdle and missing out on the chance to get their hands on a first domestic crown since 2004, Arsenal will be desperate to avoid an opening weekend banana skin here. While Mikel Arteta’s young squad might have eventually fallen five points adrift of dethroning Manchester City, Saturday’s hosts should take a string of positives away from …
Republic of Ireland defender Marc Wilson has been ruled out of Euro 2016 having suffered a setback in his recovery from a serious knee injury.
The 28-year-old has not played for club side Stoke City since January having damaged knee ligaments, but was hoping to make the tournament in France and had been named in manager Martin O Neill s 35-man provisional squad.
However, O Neill revealed that Wilson has had an additional problem and subsequently will not be fit in time to play at the Euros.
Marc Wilson has had a setback, he said. The best thing for him is to take four of five weeks off. He will be out.
Ireland goalkeeper and club team-mate Shay Given added: I have worked with Marc Wilson in the gym this season.
It s a big shame for him. The s…
Several star players will be available as free agents ahead of the 2020-21 season. Even though there’s no certainty on when the leagues will resume around the world, we do know one thing. These five players listed below will be available for free when the upcoming transfer market opens in the next few months.
Mario Götze – Dortmund
Götze will always be remembered as the player who scored the winning goal during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, the Germany international and current Borussia Dortmund star is far more than that. A gifted playmaker capable of playing all over the attacking third, he seems set to leave Dortmund for the second time in his career. Could a reunion with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool be on the cards? That shouldn’t be ruled out, as Liverpool do not…
There was drama and set-piece goals aplenty in Colombia v Japan following the pattern set by Russia 2018 so far.
The tournament has delivered no shortage of storylines in its early stages the hosts getting off to a flier, Portugal s classic with Spain, and Mexico stunning defending champions Germany to name but a few.
Tuesday s Group H meeting also threw up another abundance of intrigue, the Blue Samurai springing something of a surprise with a 2-1 victory in Saransk.
And the fixture, although perhaps not at the top of most neutrals must-see list, served up more of the set-piece drama that has become an underlying theme across the first six days in Russia.
The game got off to a sensational start, Carlos Sanchez instinctively handling Shinji Kagaw…
