Roy Keane heaps praise on England star Phil Foden after his passing masterclass against Andorra as tough-to-please pundit likens Manchester City youngster to legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady

Roy Keane has lavished praise on Phil Foden after the England star's dazzling display against Andorra, as the hard-to-please pundit compared the youngster to NFL legend Tom Brady.

Foden, 21, was utilised in a deeper midfield role by England boss Gareth Southgate on Saturday night, operating in a double pivot alongside Southampton's James Ward-Prowse.

And the Manchester City star shone for the Three Lions in an assured display on away soil, pulling the strings and playing a huge role in goals from Ben Chilwell and Bukayo Saka.
