The Manchester City forward was attending the boxing match following City’s last minute defeat to Tottenham, and his night was further ruined as a group of men harassed him at the event before one threw a punch at his mother, Claire.
City have since issued a statement that reads: “The club is aware of a video which has circulated on social media showing Phil Foden and his family being harassed and abused.
“We are shocked and appalled about the nature of the abuse and ensuing assault on one of Phil’s family members.
“We will continue to give Phil and his family all the support and assistance they need.”
