Pep Guardiola: Phil Foden is a huge talent for Man CityDAZN
The City manager was pleased with the midfielder's efforts against Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola praised young midfielder Phil Foden for his display during Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool on Sunday.

The 20-year-old England international was involved in three goals in the 4-1 win at Anfield, a result which moved City five points clear at the top of the table. Foden was credited with two assists as well as scoring his side’s fourth.

Speaking after the game, Foden said: "When you beat the champions everyone's confidence goes sky high.

"They made it so difficult for us but we showed our courage to play our football and keep going, and in the end it paid off."

Manager Guardiola said of his emerging star: "Phil Foden is a guy who keeps the ball really well, he arrives so aggressive but he is also still so young. When he plays wide it is more easy for him, he will learn.

"The action for the second goal and the fourth goal, we know what a huge talent he is but he is still young and hopefully he can understand he can still improve."
