'He's already a great, great player' - Pep heaps praise on Man City whizzkid Foden

Pep Guardiola described Phil Foden as a "great, great football player" after the teenager starred in Manchester City's Carabao Cup win at Oxford United.

Foden's superb crossfield pass helped to create the opening goal for Gabriel Jesus and he sent Riyad Mahrez clear to add the second for City in Tuesday's 3-0 win.

And having missed a great chance from Danilo's cross, Foden struck his first goal for the club in the second minute of added time to cap a memorable performance.

Guardiola has already touted Foden for a senior England call-up and the Catalan was fulsome in his praise for the teenager after he opened his account.
