Peter Crouch says Phil Foden is a 'pleasure to watch' after he starred in Man City's Champions League win over Club Brugge which included a beautiful long-range pass for Joao Cancelo's opener

Phil Foden has been lauded with praise after his excellent display in Manchester City's convincing 5-1 victory against Club Brugge in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's side romped to victory away in Belgium, with the young England star playing a vital role.

Manchester City had not scored in the opening half hour of the contest before Foden hit a perfectly executed long ranged pass to full-back Joao Cancelo who raced through to tuck away the opener.

Further goals from Kyle Walker, Cole Palmer and a Riyad Mahrez brace saw City run away with the victory but it was Foden who took the majority of the plaudits by BT Sport pundits.
