Nico O'Reilly and Phil Foden receive Premier League award nominations
Summary

Manchester City players Nico O'Reilly and Phil Foden have been shortlisted for the Adobe Express Moment of the Match award for August. O'Reilly earned his nomination following a skill sequence in a 4-1 win against Crystal Palace last Friday, where he held off markers and backheeled the ball. Foden was recognized for his role in a goalscoring move involving a first-time backheel during the opening match of the Premier League season against Bournemouth, which City won 2-1. The pair are competing against Newcastle’s Joe Willock, Hull City’s Ollie McBurnie, and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott for the honors. Public voting for the award is now open through the Premier League, and the winner will be announced at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 10.
