‘It can all go really quickly': Rico Lewis is keeping his feet on the ground amid his meteoric rise at Manchester City, as the 18-year-old right back's admits 'every game is a surprise really'

Teenager Rico Lewis is not overthinking his meteoric rise at Manchester City after earning the trust of Pep Guardiola.

The 18-year-old right back has kept the experienced Kyle Walker out of the City team on occasions since the World Cup and produced another strong display against Tottenham on Thursday night.

Lewis, quickly becoming a fans’ favourite at the Etihad Stadium, was targeted by Spurs – particularly Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – but came through the physical examination with ease.
