Man City star Phil Foden has revealed the modest sum he pays for his haircut after scoring in the club's 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen - before leaving TNT pundits in stitches by goading Micah Richards over his trips to the barber. <br /><br />Foden scored Man City's third and final goal to wrap up a confident first-leg win in the Champions League last-16 to cap off a superb display and was in a good mood as he spoke to the broadcaster after the game. <br /><br />The 23-year-old has become a key figure under Pep Guardiola this season, scoring 14 times and providing 10 assists at the Etihad to lead their hopes of another big trophy haul, while also giving himself a huge chance of making England's starting XI at Euro 2024 this summer. <br /><br />And after assessing his performance in Denmark, the topic quickly turned to Foden's hair after pundit Richards noticed he had a 'fresh trim' - asking the player how much he pays for a haircut. <br /><br />'Before you go, who is your barber because your trim is looking quite fresh I'm not gonna lie,' Richards asked the player.<br /><br />Foden then responded: 'I've heard you pay a lot for your trim,' leaving Richards and fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry in stitches. <br /><br />Richards revealed the eyewatering sum he spends on a haircut last year - claiming he spends around £600 a week on three separate trips to the barber.<br /><br />Presenter Kate Abdo then pressed Foden on how much he splashes out, with the England international answer shocking the studio. <br /><br />'£20 from the local he said. 'I swear. I sort him out sometimes but I've been to the same barber since the age of eight.'<br /><br />During a Champions League night last year, Richards explained his baffling expenditure on a trim.<br /><br />'What does my barber cost? £200 a time yes. When I say the most, like I'll get a trim tomorrow for the Champions League and I'm working the weekend so I'll get a trim.<br /><br />'I did it today. I've got to get a sharpen up tomorrow.'<br /><br />Abdo then went on to explain that three haircuts a week at that price equates to over £31,000 a year though Richards insisted it was only during punditry weeks.<br /><br />Foden was speaking to the punditry team about his sparkling form that has seen him score five goals in the last three games.<br /><br />Quizzed on whether he had ever felt more vital, Foden told TNT Sports: 'I don't think so. It's the most run of games I've probably had in a City shirt.<br /><br />'When you're playing every game I think you can get a lot of rhythm. I'm feeling good this year and I'm helping the team the best I can.' <br /><br />Foden believes the key to his impressive performances lies in his consistent run of starts rather than Guardiola's tactical decision to field him in central positions. <br /><br />'Like I said, when you get a run of games you find your feet and start getting connections with other players,' he added.<br /><br />'I first started playing in the pocket but today I played wide and did an alright job.'<br /><br />
